The Lamai Triangle

The game viewing has been amazing this month in the Lamai. Great wildebeest numbers on the plains, cheetah, leopard, and elephants.

The first wildebeest crossing of the mighty Mara River started at the beginning of the month from the southern side and up into the Lamai Triangle. There are still huge herds grazing to the south of the Mara River and have yet to cross. I believe a lot more action lies ahead on this river in the weeks to come.

We have witnessed some magical crossings during my time here in camp. Some very special moments indeed. The general plains game is always good in the Lamai with lovely topi, gazelle, giraffe, zebra, eland and warthog numbers dotted over the plains. We had some fantastic predator interactions with the three cheetah brothers continuing to do well. The elephant sightings have been lovely this month with many elephants, often close to camp which I always enjoy. We have been lucky enough to experience some large bull elephants also passing through the region.
