Reporting Date: 10.09.2012
On a full-day game drive ranger John and his guests were having alot fun spending time watching the different species of wild animals they came across while on their way to the mara river. On arrival they saw lots of hippos and crocs relaxing in the water but most interesting was when they came across a huge herds of wildebeest and zebra. The group got bigger and bigger and John knew that there would be a crossing. After a while the gnus decided to take it to the next level and cross. It took a while before they all made it through which made it very exciting to watch.
