The annual wildebeest migration across the Masai Mara has begun fully a month early this year. Says Wildwatch.com, "The front-runners of the Great Migration have arrived in Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve earlier than expected. The herds, which usually start arriving in mid to late July, entered the Mara on the 15th of June."
We hope to be visiting the area about this time next year and we'll share the planning process on CS&W. For now, here are a few migration resources:

Governor's Camp publishes a monthly game report.
Near the Masai Mara, about a hundred thirty miles west of Mt. Kilimanjaro, the Ngorongoro crater, in Tanzania, covers roughly a hundred square miles. It's some 2000 feet floor to rim, about ten miles in diameter, and home to 25,000 large mammals, including this really incredible prehistoric monster thing. We'll tell you about our visit there later this week on Common Sense and Whiskey.
