Hello all
We had a quiet morning drive towards Big Marsh, but suddenly I heard the stampede and I thought it was wind. From Miti Mitatu, when I looked through my binoculars, I couldn’t quite believe my eyes - a large herd of wildebeest and zebras coming rom the direction of Olbaye toward the open woodland that goes to the Marsh. We spend the whole morning with them. They are moving to the marsh woodland very fast in their hundreds of thousands. This follows the heavy rain from yesterday arround Ndutu especially the area surrounding the lakes.
