The Wildebeest is possibly most famous for occurring in spectacular numbers seasonally in the Maasai Mara and Serengeti. The great migration, which may counts hundreds of thousands of animals, allows wildebeest to follow the good grazing that comes after the rains. This leads wildebeest to cross the Mara River which claims the lives of the weak ones and those unfortunate enough to get too close to the crocodiles that lie in wait. © Mark Ellis - See the Northern Nomadic Trail map with a complete picture set.
