LIVE Main Crossing: Masai Mara Great Migration River Crossing - Africam | explore.org

Situated at the Main Crossing Point in the central Mara Triangle Conservancy, this live camera overlooks one of the most active and dramatic wildlife crossing sites along the Mara River. Animals frequent this area year-round, but it is especially known for its dense population of Nile crocodiles, often seen patrolling the waters and lying in wait along the banks. This location becomes truly extraordinary during the Great Migration, one of the world’s most spectacular natural phenomena. Over 1.2 million wildebeest, alongside hundreds of thousands of Burchell’s zebra, Thomson’s gazelle, and eland, move in a vast, circular journey between the Maasai Mara and the Serengeti. Driven by rainfall and the search for fresh grazing, they travel over 500 miles through predator-filled landscapes. The river crossings here are among the most intense and unpredictable. Herds gather at the edge before surging into the river, where strong currents and formidable crocodiles turn each crossing into a high-stakes struggle for survival.
