To reach the grasslands of Masai Mara, they must risk their lives crossing the Mara River, where famished crocodiles wait in the swollen waters. After nervously milling about on the banks, it takes just one wildebeest to leap in, and then the herd follows en masse grunting, thundering hooves and splashing water. The river crossings are spectacular and it attract huge numbers of tourists each year.
