I've been on several safaris in Africa but up until now I had never experienced seeing one of the big cats take down its prey. In September I visited the Masai Mara in Kenya for the Great Migration. Starting around July and August every year and ending in September or October over a million wildebeest enter the Masai Mara from the Serengeti in Tanzania for greener grounds.
One of the highlights of a safari during the migration is watching the wildebeest cross the Mara River. They prance back and forth sometimes for hours before almost spontaneously deciding to cross as a herd. In a matter of 15 to 30 minute hundreds or even thousands or wildebeest will cross the river as crocodiles wait for an easy meal.
