Jim Kirklin saw one of the most awe-inspiring scenes he has ever encountered

HerdTracker update 26 Sep 2019 by Jim Kirklin

Jim Kirklin saw one of the most awe-inspiring scenes he has ever encountered!

He spent a few days with the Great Wildebeest Migration in the Serengeti. He was fortunate to witness thousands of wildebeest crossing the Mara River for hours. Before momentum kicked in, they seemed to be confused about which side of the river they wanted to be on – A group would go across, wait a few minutes then go back, and so on. That led to traffic jams with the wildebeest going both ways at the same time.

Experience one of Africa’s greatest spectacles – smell the dust and hear the noise of thousands of animals crossing the Mara River in an epic struggle for survival: https://www.discoverafrica.com/herdtracker/migration-safaris/

The nearest accommodation to the herds: Lemala Mara Mobile Tented Camp, Serengeti National Park Safaris
