Most of this is a vast honey-colored plain of grass, with just the occasional water pan, islands of raffia palms, or a small tree belt interrupting the scenery. Thousands of wildebeest (estimated at close to 50,000), with zebras, tsessebes, and buffalos, group together, joining the more static resident roan antelopes, red lechwe, and reedbucks. The open plains are particularly good for Oribi antelopes. With all these come the predators: hyenas, wild dogs, and lions can be spotted. Beginning of November, thousands of wildebeest will gather in the plains. You'll be camping in the bush (running water, showers, and flush toilets are present). (3x FB).
