Early September saw intermittent showers received unevenly across the Greater Mara ecosystem. However, the remainder of the month was generally dry.
The brief rains provided only temporary relief, as the green coloration of the landscape quickly faded, giving way to extensive carpets of dry grass and bare ground. The prevailing dry conditions contributed to a notable increase in wildlife cases attended to by the Vet Unit, with the team responding to 15 cases, the majority of which were related to poaching or human-wildlife conflict.
