Something exciting is happening in the Mara at the moment. The wildebeest have started dropping their young, and the plains above camp are filled with new mothers and their wobbly babies.
There are also a great amount of Zebra who are also dropping their foals all around the conservancy.There sweet little fluffy stripy things that run with such power when they see you but dont seem to get anywhere.
We saw the fist young wildebeest about a week ago, since then they have multiplied and the chances of seeing a birth are very high! I am on the look out!
Their timing was perfect, as we have just had a few days of much needed rain and the fresh grass shoots are giving them the strength before they make their annual migration across the river in a few months time.
However they make a tasty and easy meal for someone. One of the reasons they all drop at the same time is so that there is a better chance of survival. Nature is so clever.
