Wildebeest video!

We were very luck to catch the beginning of the wildebeest migration from Tanzania to Kenya.

Best of friends: the zebra and wildebeest


The humble zebra proved to one of the most popular animals on our trip. The closer you get, the more you can appreciate their exceptional and totally unique black and white pattern. Check out these pics:


 
We’d also often spy zebra mingling happily with the wildebeest


Wandering wildebeest


The annual migration of wildebeest between Tanzania and Kenya is one of world’s greatest natural wonders – and we got to see it on one of our game drives! 

These first groups from Tanzania's Seregenti plains are nicknamed ‘inspectors’ by the tour guides, as they seem to be checking out the Masai Mara savannah for the rest of the herd. 

Now, at the end of June, the Masai Mara is dotted with thousands of wildebeest, but by August there will be 3 million here!
