At Crossing Point 7A on the Mara River, thousands of wildebeest gathered on the banks before finally plunging into the swollen waters. Recent rains had made the river rise sharply, with strong, fast moving currents adding to the danger. The herd moved in waves, filling the river with splashes and chaos. Some managed to fight through the raging water and climb to safety on the far bank, while others were overwhelmed by the force of the current and swept downstream. It was a powerful reminder of how unforgiving this stage of the Great Migration can be.
