Mara River Main Crossing

The Heart of the Great Migration

Set at the central crossing point of the Mara Triangle, this camera captures a legendary stretch of river where over a million wildebeest and hundreds of thousands of zebra surge across the water on their circular journey between the Maasai Mara and the Serengeti.

A River Ruled by Crocodiles

The Mara River here is famed for its dense population of Nile crocodiles, often seen patrolling the current or lying in wait along the banks. Each crossing becomes a high-stakes struggle between the herds and the predators of the water.

Endless Wildlife on the Savanna

Even beyond the migration peaks, the crossing draws a steady parade of animals to drink and graze. Hippos, antelope and birds frequent the rocky shallows, making the scene one of Africa's most active wildlife stages.
