I’m still trying to wrap my head around how millions of wildebeests line up for miles to run across rivers and fields. Nature is brilliant. 🙌🏻 #kenyabelieveit #masaimara #wildebeestmigration

It is #magic, it is #incredible, it is #indescribable. Its The Annual Wildebeest Migration in Masai Mara. THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH. The #awe-inspiring Maasai Mara is what safari dreams are made of – rolling #grasslands, wide open #savannah and rich in wonderful African wildlife. Witness the incredible annual wildebeest migration between July and October as over a million animals thunder across the plains in search of water and grazing. Spot #predators such as #lions, #hyenas, #jackals and #vultures as they closely follow the trek. Experience a magical hot-air balloon safari – Drift the #dawn over the magnificent plains of the Masai Mara in a hot air balloon. Then enjoy on a champagne breakfast in the bush at the landing site, before returning to camp on a game drive. Experience the WONDER with us!

#repost @apextribune.com “One of ‘Seven Natural Wonders’ and it’s truly a spectacular display of nature traveling through the circle of life.” “Nowhere in the world is there a movement of animals as large as the migration of Africa’s millions of wildebeest and other grazing herbivores. They trace a clockwise circuit of East Africa’s great grassland plains, following the rain and the ripening grasses. It is one of natures sights that has never ceased to amaze.” #wildlife #wildebeest #thegreatmigration #beautiful #naturelovers #wildlife_perfection #instanature #crossing #serengeti #mara #tanzania #natgeowild #safari #wildebeestmigration #brutal #nature #wildlifeplanet #sevenwonders #crocodile #africa

The Great Migration, when as many as 1,7-million wildebeest and 400,000 zebras migrate from the southern plains of the Serengeti to the reliable waters of the Maasai Mara each year, is one of the ‘bucket list’ experiences for any wildlife or nature enthusiast. You could join us in September this year if you book now… #wildphotossafaris #join_me #privatelyguidedsafari #photoworkshop #wildebeestmigration #thegreatmigration #bucketlist #maasaimara #kenya #africa #africanwildlife #magicalkenya #photosafari #ig_africa #naturephotography #naturephotoportal
