Migration season brings alot of food for most predators and the vultures. River crossings down at mara river are very spectacular and can last for close to an hour depending on the size of the wildebeest herd. Some of the crossing points are easy to tackle while others are tough.
Peter and his two guests went down to mara river and at one of the crossing points they saw a few dead gnus and alot of floating carcasses in the river. Vultures take advantage and feed on this carcasses without worring about being chased away by the larger predators like Lions and Hyenas.
