Mara River Wildebeest Crossing - Great Migration | Maasai Mara Safari | Zebra Plains

The Great Migration and its river crossings are some of the iconic African safari scenes. Countless documentaries show the wildebeest crossings and wildlife magazines seem to always have a shot of a crossing in any article about East Africa. The perception of the migration for many is of millions of animals - wildebeest/gnu, zebra, gazelle, and topi moving as a single herd and crossing rivers regularly as a single massive organism. The reality is quite different; the migration is made up of thousands of large herds moving independently of one another, and the rivers are few and far between. The other perception is that the crossings are an endless feast for the crocodiles, but again, the reality is that as there are so many separate herds crossing, the crocodiles feed selectively. This was a relatively large crossing of wildebeest and zebra and none were caught by crocodiles although many of them drowned as they tried to cross Filmed In The Maasai Mara National Reserve, Kenya Special thanks to Zebra Plains Mara Camp Book A Maasai Mara Photography Safari at Zebra Plains Mara Camp: Call: +254776965290 / +254790789122 WhatsApp: +254743233724 Email: [email protected] Website: www.zebraplainscollection.com #zebraplainsmoments #zebraplainscollection Filmed in 4K UHD resolution using the Nikon Coolpix P1000 - https://go.magik.ly/ml/t6pg/ Subscribe: https://bit.ly/30a0IRM | Merch: http://teespring.com/stores/robtheranger Watch the newest videos:    • Newest Videos | Rob The Ranger   Follow Rob The Ranger: X (TWITTER): https://x.com/robtheranger INSTAGRAM:   / robtheranger   FACEBOOK:   / rtrwildlifevideos   TUMBLR:   / robtheranger   TIKTOK:   / robtheranger   Watch more videos!
