Masai Mara Reserve. Zebras at Maasai Mara

Crocodiles at Mara River. During the great migration over two million herbivores move heading north-west from the short grass plains to the Western Corridor of the Serengeti and its Grumeti River. The Mara river is their first real obstacle and gigantic crocodiles are waiting for the hesitant wildebeest to stumble at the crossing. The mass of grunting wildebeest remain on the Mara grasslands until October or November. Then, as the storm clouds gather in the south, the vast herds return to their breeding grounds.

Wildebeest at Mara River. 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. [Photo: Mark Ellis]
