The migration this year began earlier than usual and the herds have waxed and waned over the past few months. 
Several large rains storms recently have caused the animals to change direction resulting in large numbers in the Mara. Â Three days ago Ninian and our guests found huge herds of wildebbest and zebra gathering to cross the Mara River.
Excited to watch the spectacle of a river crossing, they elected to sit and wait while the animals built up the courage to take the plunge. Our camp crew gathered the lunch they had waiting in camp and sent it out to them, and  four hot hours later  their patience was rewarded.
