Huge Mara river crossing at no 4

HerdTracker update 11 Aug 2023 by Mawe Lodges

This herd was spotted crossing the Mara river at crossing no 4. Crossing no 4 is still very busy! You can see confusion in this crossing as many wildebeest cross the river twice in the opposite direction. As best put by the contributor of this video, “Following the leader ain’t always easy.”

This fantastic video was taken by @mawelodges on the 11th of August 2023.

The nearest accommodation to the herds: Singita Mara River Tented Camp, Serengeti National Park Safaris

Recommended safari: Follow the Migration in Tanzania
