Great Migration Low Level River Crossing | Maasai Mara Safari | Zebra Plains

Western white-bearded gnus (blue wildebeest) cross the Mara river during the Great Migration
The Great Migration and its river crossings are some of the iconic African safari scenes. Countless documentaries show the wildebeest crossings and wildlife magazines seem to always have a shot of a crossing in any article about East Africa. The perception of the migration for many is of millions of animals - wildebeest/gnu, zebra, gazelle, and topi moving as a single herd and crossing rivers regularly as a single massive organism. The reality is quite different; the migration is made up of thousands of large herds moving independently of one another, and the rivers are few and far between. The other perception is that the crossings are an endless feast for the crocodiles, but again, the reality is that as there are so many separate herds crossing, the crocodiles feed selectively. This was a relatively small crossing of wildebeest at a shallow spot along the Mara river and none were caught by crocodiles

About Rob The Ranger Wildlife Videos:
The purpose of the channel is to show what it is like to experience seeing wild animals on an African safari. Nature Documentaries are often highly edited to tell a story, wildlife safaris are not, and the idea here is to show the wildlife sightings the way they were seen. Safari tours in Africa are generally suitable for all ages and this channel can be considered an educational channel about incredible nature, some scenes in the nature videos may be more graphic than people are used to but this is the reality of nature and is what you would see if you were present on such a safari in person. Safaris in Kenya, South Africa, or any other African country are an unrivalled experience for anyone with a passion for nature, wildlife photography, and travel. Hopefully the animal videos on this channel can provide a glimpse into what the nature experience is like and encourage more people to take a wildlife safari one day.
