Wildebeest Migration from Serengeti National Park into Kenya Masai Mara National Reserve.

Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010

Wildebeest Migration, a spectacle like no other in the planet involving tens of thousands herds of wildebeest and zebras crossing the treacherous Mara River from Tanzania’s well know Serengeti National  Park into Kenya renowned Masai Mara National Park.

Large herds are to be seen around the Mara Triangle, Meta Plains and along the north eastern border of the Masai Mara National Game Reserve.

The annual migration season immensely  draws safari enthusiasts eager to witness first hand  wildebeest and zebras crossing the crocodile infested Mara River River.

Unfortunately, this annual wildebeest migration poses extreme danger to these animals as predators of all walks of the game reserves stalk on them waiting to pounce on them at every opportune moment.

Every dip in the Mara River consumes a large number of the wildebeest. Not only do they get killed in the unforgivable stampedes but they also die under the strong jaws of the ferocious reptiles- the crocodiles.
