Few human eyes have bore witness to the wondrous wildebeest migration from Kenya's Masai Mara National Reserve to the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania until now. A magnificent spectacle of life and death captured by the camera of a man who has made the Serengeti his home for over two decades, the remarkable migration begins with a herd one-and-a-half million strong, and finds the determined creatures struggling for survival on every step of the arduous journey. Beset on all sides by such fearsome predators as lightning fast cheetahs, hungry lions who lurk in the tall grasses, and creeping crocodiles who watch from the waters awaiting the perfect moment to strike, these fearless creatures make this epic journey every year while miraculously managing to give birth to a staggering half-a-million calves on the trail.
