JULY • AUGUST • SEPTEMBER
The buzz is all about the wildebeest river crossings, but it’s important to make sure the gnus don’t steal the whole show: the Mara especially offers incredible big cat sightings, and the exclusivity and freedom of the conservancy comes into its own in busy August. The key to this quarter is giving yourself enough time to catch a crossing or two, but also to explore the territory beyond the river. A great way to do this is through walking and adventure flycamping – the cooler, drier weather at this time of year makes getting out on foot the perfect way to get to grips with these stunning landscapes.

TANZANIA

It’s that time of year when the wildebeest make their legendary river crossings. In July, the early herds explode across the water in their hundreds of thousands, breaking off into smaller factions for grazing. Grass fires in June and July herald new shoots for them to eat, and the location of these fires governs some of their micro-movements across the plains. Roughly half the wildebeest population stays in Tanzania, while the other half heads over the border to Kenya. They cross back and forth over the Mara River following storms, being chased by predators, and seeking new grasslands.

KENYA

Once the herds arrive from Tanzania, the crossings begin, and our Nkorombo Mobile Camp is in an especially active area. Innumerable wildebeest fill out the plains, swelled by the Loita population joining their numbers to the migration throughout MNC & MMNR.

If you’re after the raw proximity of nature, unsurpassed game viewing, the elegant simplicity of sleeping in a tent, and the hypnotic lure of a campfire in the evening, come and visit our Nkorombo camp.
