Reporting Date: July 8th 2012

This week has seen the advance group of the wildebeests and zebras moving past the Lobo area  where they had stayed put for almost two weeks before moving into  the Bolongoja  area  which is much closer to the sand river. The sand river is on the border between the Masai mara and the Serengeti. This group  is not the main one and numbers about 100,000 individuals  comprising mainly of Zebras as the trail-blazers. It seems that in the next twenty four hours, they would be crossing into the Masai mara . Meanwhile, the main group is still spread out on the western  corridor near Fort Ikoma  and may take  some two  weeks to  reach  the northern parts of the Serengeti as they are moving slowly.
