African photography: How can wildebeest mother and son escape from this world with fierce crocodiles in the way and cheetahs behind them?

The great migration of animals in East Africa is a miracle in the world today. 1500,000 wildebeests, plus hundreds of thousands of zebras, antelopes and other two million animal armies, are vast and endless, chasing rain and grass clockwise along the land of East Africa?

However, in this journey of thousands of kilometers, all the way is full of difficulties and dangers. Lions, cheetahs, crocodiles and other carnivores that have been hungry for a year lurk everywhere. They must seize this rare opportunity to eat and support their families.

The surviving wildebeest troops made a short stop in Masai Mara, crossing the Mara River several times in pursuit of rain and tender grass, and waiting for them were African crocodiles lurking in the Mara River waiting for hunger for a year.

Every year, 400,000 wildebeests are born, but 250,000 wildebeests are also hunted during migration.

In this way, a thrilling life cycle is staged on the land of East Africa, year after year.

Because wildebeest migration has no starting point and ending point, it can be experienced all year round, depending on the geographical location of wildebeest herd in that month.

During its migration, there are three main points:

1, a wildebeest born in southern Tanzania;

2. Migration all the way can satisfy elusive hunting;

3. wildebeests cross the river on the Mara River in Masai Mara.

First, wildebeests were born.

Every year 1-2 months, wildebeests follow the rain and green grass all the way to southern Tanzania.

Due to the decrease of rainfall in recent years, wildebeests tend to move further south. In recent years, wildebeests are concentrated in the south of Serengeti National Park, located in the Ndutu area in the north of Ngorongoro Nature Reserve.

At this time, there is abundant rain and water plants here, which is a good place for wildebeests to recharge their batteries and reproduce after a long journey.

Ndutu has endless prairies and can experience magnificent African scenery.

There are also winding acacia trees here, which constitute a colorful African landscape.

Because most of the activities of animals take place in the early morning, and the colorful colors around sunrise in the morning, we set off before sunrise every day, jumped on the off-road vehicle, drove to the animals in the charming sunrise and approached the wildebeest circle.

Unlike Serengeti National Park, which strictly restricts vehicles to drive in the driveway, cars here can drive at will, so that they can get as close as possible to animals and enjoy and take photos at close range.
