Thanks for posting the interesting article. When I was in Kenya 2 months ago, there was still quite a lot of water in the Mara River. A guide working at the Hippo Pools told me that some of the wildebeests had returned from Tanzania very early in search of water.

I seem to recall there was a drought in the late 90's sometime and a bunch of the animals died as a result. Thanks for the info Katja ... keep us posted. I have seached for more articles, but can't to seem to find anymore info.
