How it works

Register

The vast grasslands of the Serengeti and the Golden Plateau of the Masai Mara are a unique sanctuary for African wildlife and the area for one of the most exceptional natural phenomena in the world: The Wildebeest Migration, a mass movement covering 3,000 kilometres, equivalent to circumnavigating Britain and Ireland.

The sheer scale of this event is breathtaking: 1.5 million Wildebeest on the move at once, joined by 600,000 Zebra and Gazelle, not to mention Elephants, Antelopes and the ever vigilant predators, having covered huge open plains and great oceans of grass, the most dramatic moment for these Wildebeest is the crossing of the Mara River, with its swirling currents, Crocodiles and Hippopotamuses that silently lay in wait, thousands are killed in their attempt to reach the opposite bank, trampled and suffocated in the struggle to survive...

Hardback with Unclipped dustcover, illustrated endpapers-256 pages with supporting text and truely amazing photographs by Carlo Mari. Fine.
