The southward movement of wildebeest across the Mara River continues to gain momentum. Following earlier crossings, more herds have been seen pressing downstream, reinforcing the shift back toward the Serengeti. Numbers are still strong, with large groups gathering along the riverbanks before making their move. The river currents remain high, adding to the challenge, but the herds are determined, driven by the search for fresh grazing. This continuation of southward crossings is a natural rhythm of the Great Migration, where survival dictates constant movement and direction.
