Default The MasiaMara Reserve in September

I've found on the internet that the migration is now over and the
large herds have arrived at Kichwa Tembo.. Does this mean they are
concentrated in this specific area or scattered throughout the Mara ?
If I'm camping near the Sekenani Gate, will the game drives actually
get me to see the herds? Or will I see just the game that is
resident?
Thanks for you response.

1. Don't believe everything you see on the internet.
2. See #1.

The migrating herds normally stay in the Mara, both within the
Reserve and in the lands around it, until October.

Reports are that these are the largest numbers of wildebeest
seen in the past few years.

More importantly, if there a million of them there, you will never
see more than perhaps 30,000 at any one time.
And, 30,000 looks like a million.

The migration is never really 'over' - though August through
September is a time when the herds come to rest in the Mara..
just as they do in the early part of the year in the southeastern
Serengeti.
