When the annual Great Migration arrives in the area (July–September) wildlife viewing along the course of the Mara River is nothing short of breathtaking. Perhaps images come to mind of great herds crossing a river whilst being awaited by crocodiles. Serengeti Mara is the best location in the national park to see these dry-season wildebeest river crossings. During the Great Migration period, enormous herds of wildebeest and their entourage congregate on one side of the Mara River. It may take a while (sometimes up to a few days) before one brave individual dare cross the river, the rest will then follow suit. Peculiarly enough, these herds sometimes move back and forth from one side of the river to the other, for no apparent reason.
