May 2022

Migration Update from the Serengeti, things are picking up speed now with the western herds reaching Seronera valley. The wildebeest herds have moved quickly across the plains  the last few weeks. The Eastern herds are also on the move north, so the migration is still a bit scattered, with some small pockets still in the south.  Great Migration Camps is following them best we can on a daily basis!
