The river is one of the biggest hurdles for the wildebeest and zebras on their yearly trek. Unbelievable scenes can be witnessed at the end of October and beginning of November when tens of thousands

of animals have to cross the river that has risen after all the rainfall and is full of crocodiles. However, even during other seasons, hippos, crocodiles and other animals can be spotted here. You will spend another night at the Sarova Mara Game Camp or similar
