Each year the entire herd must attempt the treacherous crossing of the Mara River where they contend not only with strong currents but also with the always hungry crocodiles who call the river home.it takes a lot of patience and more than a little luck, but witnessing the dramatic river crossing is a bucket list item.

Day 6: Masai Mara to Nairobi
