Brent Leo-Smith captureda dazzle of zebras crossing the Mara Riverin an area they don’t normally cross in the Masai Mara National Reserve. Thepoint has deep water and steep backs far from the traditional crossing points.

Patience paid off forJordan Dupper who waited 8 hours in the hopes of capturing the herd. Jordan was rewarded with a Mara River crossing by endless herds of wildebeest and zebra in theSerengeti National Park.

Two weeks of unseasonal rains pushed the herds back into Tanzania.

This is what the annual wildebeest migration looks like when 20,000 (of the projected 2 million) decide to cross the treacherous crocodile-infested Mara River.After a late start, the migration is in full swing in the Maasai Mara.
