The annual wildebeest migration between the Serengeti and Maasai Mara is one of the most spectacular natural events on Earth. Over 1.5 million wildebeest, accompanied by 300,000 zebra and 500,000 Thomson's gazelle, follow the rains in a continuous clockwise loop.
The most dramatic moments are the Mara River crossings, typically occurring between July and October when the herds move from Tanzania into Kenya. Crocodiles and lions wait in ambush as tens of thousands of animals plunge into the river in a thundering mass of hooves and dust.
For photographers, positioning is everything. Our guides know the crossing points intimately and can position vehicles for the perfect angle as the drama unfolds.
