It has been slightly over a month since the great wildebeest migration started and the some of the mara plains have already been grazed by the gnus.
On a full-day game-drive Daniel and his guests were thrilled to see thousands of wildebeest right from the main entrance of the National reserve. After driving towards Talek river they noticed the herds were getting bigger and bigger. On arrival huge herds had already gathered on the river bank as though getting ready to cross.
