The Great Migration: A Photographer's Field Guide

The river is high. The wildebeest are restless. For three days they have grazed at the edge, building courage in numbers, until one — a young female, perhaps, or an old male tired of waiting — steps forward, and then they all do, and the air fills with hooves and dust and the distant splash of crocodile tails.

Position is everything

The Mara River has dozens of crossing points. Most safari operators stack at the famous ones, where 40 vehicles compete for the same shot. We position differently — using twelve years of crossing data and our network of guides on the ground to predict where the herds will go before they get there.

The result: front-row access to crossings that 95% of visitors never see.
