  May marks the end of the rainy season, so the landscape is at its most beautiful, with life erupting everywhere. Dust is minimal, the wildflowers are all in bloom, and the wildebeest migration is moving westwards. This time of year, the mass migration collides with the big cat populations that reside here, so the opportunity to see a big cat kill is at its peak. May is also known as ‘the rut,’ when the wildebeest mating season is in full swing, with an almost constant cacophony of bellowing males holding temporary territories in which they try to attract females. During your stay at Pioneer Camp, enjoy game drives, where you stand a great chance of spotting the ‘Big 5.’ In addition, several smaller, but no less spectacular, species of cats such as Caracal, Serval and African Wild Cat, are also relatively numerous. Ungulates abound, and in addition to the ever-present wildebeest, huge numbers of Burchell’s Zebra, African Buffalo, Giraffe, Warthog, Thomson’s and Grant’s Gazelles, Impala, Topi, Kongoni, diminutive Kirk’s Dik-diks, Klipspringer, Roan, Oribi, Defassa Waterbuck, Bohor Reedbuck and Eland may also be seen.
