Zebras on the migration.
This herd of zebras was spotted by ranger Deus as they moved out of the northernmost part of the serengeti on their way back south belatedly though as they should have left the area a few months back.Usually zebras are the first to move into areas of taller grass when migrating, followed by the wildebeests as they are the trail blazers, but on this occasion, these group of about 2000 were the last of the migrants. We hope to see them again in the month of July or August.
