River crossings are one of the most iconic stages of the Great Migration. As wildebeest move in search of fresh grazing, they must navigate rivers such as the Mara and Grumeti, often facing steep banks, strong currents, and predators along the way. Crossing activity can take place in both directions and remains unpredictable, making every crossing a unique wildlife spectacle.

A Mara River crossing was spotted as herds of wildebeest continue their migration through the Mara ecosystem.

The herd was spotted crossing shortly after an elephant bull made its way across the river first.

River crossing activity continues across the Mara ecosystem as more wildebeest arrive during the Great Migration. Herds can spend hours gathering at crossing points before making their move, often crossing in large numbers once the first animals commit.

Wildebeest spotted along the shores of the Sand River.

Not every moment of the Great Migration involves dramatic river crossings. Herds often spend time grazing, resting, and gathering near water sources before continuing their journey through the Mara ecosystem.

A magnificent river crossing was witnessed on Sunday morning at Crossing Point No. 0 in Northern Serengeti, with wildebeest moving from north to south.

River crossings can occur in both directions during the Great Migration as herds respond to grazing conditions, rainfall patterns, and movement within the ecosystem. These movements are a natural part of the migration and can result in spectacular crossing activity throughout the season.

A lioness was spotted capturing a wildebeest along a riverbank in the Serengeti.

Predation is a natural and essential part of the Great Migration. Lions often take advantage of areas near rivers and crossing points, where wildebeest are concentrated and can be more vulnerable. These predator-prey interactions play an important role in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem.

No obstacle is too big for the Great Migration. Navigating uneven terrain is a regular part of their journey, and wildebeest often have to descend steep banks and climb difficult slopes as they move between grazing areas and river crossing points.
