Making it through the water is only half the challenge.

After crossing the river, wildebeest still have to find a safe way out. Steep banks, large rocks and slippery surfaces can make the final climb difficult, particularly when many animals are trying to leave the water at the same time.

From entering the river to reaching the opposite bank, every stage of a river crossing comes with its own challenges.

While a wildebeest crossing was underway at the Mara River, an adult spotted hyena suddenly emerged from the woodland at full speed and targeted one of the wildebeest.

Crossing points create opportunities for predators both in and out of the water. While crocodiles wait below the surface, hyenas and other predators can take advantage of the confusion and large concentration of prey along the riverbanks.

Sometimes the danger is waiting exactly where you land.

Wildebeest often enter the river by jumping from steep banks, leaving them little time to react to what is waiting below. Crocodiles take advantage of these crossing points by remaining in the water and targeting animals as they enter or struggle to gain their footing.

During a river crossing, the challenge starts from the moment a wildebeest leaves the bank, not just once it reaches deeper water.

This is the Great Migration beyond the river crossings.
Thousands of wildebeest spread across the open plains, creating a view that shows the true scale of the migration.

While the dramatic river crossings often get the most attention, scenes like this are just as much a part of the journey, vast herds moving, grazing and gathering across the Mara-Serengeti ecosystem.

Sometimes you just have to stop and take in the view.

A herd of wildebeest approaching the river was intercepted by a leopard, forcing them to quickly turn back and run.

During the Great Migration, danger can come from every direction. While crocodiles patrol the river, predators such as leopards and lions can take advantage of the large herds gathering along the riverbanks.

Thousands on the move once again

A massive herd of wildebeest was spotted crossing the Mara River at Crossing Point No. 4, moving from south to north.

With recent rains influencing fresh grazing, the herds continue to shift their movements across the Mara ecosystem, keeping river crossing activity very much alive.

Mara River crossing activity continues, with many wildebeest herds now being spotted moving south towards the Serengeti.

The Great Migration is constantly on the move, and while some herds remain across the Masai Mara, others are beginning their journey back towards the Serengeti in search of fresh grazing.
