.
Over the last few days we have witnessed large groups of wildebeests coming back into the Serengeti from the Maasai mara. The most highlight of this event is when they have to cross the Mara river. Ranger Jaffery and his guests witnessed a river crossing in double lines which was so spectacular. These animals formed two parallel lines in the waters. Luckily for them, there was no t a single crocodile in sight to feed on them.
