drive to look for the resident wildebeest herds & also drive along Grumeti
River where large Nile crocodiles moving with surprisingly speed and stealth
lie in wait for the wildlife coming to drink at the river. A spectacular sight is the “kopjes”, large granite rocks that
rise like islands from a sea of grass and provide shelter to wildlife and
plants; people too lived here and left interesting traces of their presence.
