Continue through different sections of the reserve, pausing beside herds of zebras, wildebeest, buffaloes and gazelles. Your guide will explain the relationships between the grazing animals, predators and the landscape, with time to watch behaviour rather than hurry from one sighting to another.
Stop for a picnic lunch at a designated place, then continue your game drive through the afternoon. During the migration season, your guide may focus on areas used by the moving herds; their location and any river crossings depend on natural conditions.
