The Greatest Animal Migration | Free Documentary Nature
Millions of these gnus join forces annually to participate in one huge migration – always with luscious grass in their sights. Roaring, snorting, bucking, continuously reproductive en route, they head west – across the Serengeti from Tanzania to Kenya and back. With a large variety of animals in their wake – friend and foe: zebra families that resemble pale flotsam in a dark ocean amidst the gnu herds; or lions, and hyaenas in hope of their next victims. Along their way, they encounter hippopotami and crocodiles – and all of them embroiled in the cycle of “devour and be devoured”. The filmmakers follow the artiodactyls, armed with their cameras and lay in wait on the so-called “birthing meadow”. There, in the world’s largest maternity room, 250.000 calves will be born within the next three weeks. The journey from there to the pasture regions of Kenya is especially dangerous for young animals – and here the film also illustrates nature’s harshness. And then there is the “revenge of the gnus”, something that Vita and Rolf Köster have become acquainted with. The two filmmakers gained unusual access to the world’s most famous game reserve whilst shooting their film in search of the even-toed animals.
Wonderful documentary. I enjoyed it very much.
I was in Kenya in 2000 and saw the Mara River just after the migration. We were at the bend of the river and saw the number of dead wildebeest. It smelled terribly from the dead animals. The vultures were still eating, but the crocodiles were already full. They had a very big belly.
Paradise is the perfect term for this place. I pray one day I can see it for myself. Definitely on the bucket list if I can possibly ever afford to go. Thanks for making & sharing these beautiful documentaries.
Great documentary on this greatest animal migration that each year nus, zebras, bufalos are making the migration to find the best food for their survivor, besides the danger that they encounter against the cocrodiles, lions, hyenas. 🦁🐒🐵🐆🦓🦌🐂🐃🦒🐘🦛🦆🦩🦅🦃🐊🐢🦎🐞🪲🌍🏞 great job and thanks for sharing. 🥰
I never could understand the wildebeest and how they choose to cross they’ve been doing it for years and still can’t get it right. If you look further down the river you’d see less complicated crossings. Good luck wildebeest ✌
Thanks for the video!!👌
The most beautiful continent!
I’ve eaten pesto pasta while in Africa too. I was hanging out with a group of spotted hyenas at the time and doing research on their family dynamics.
love your videos keep making more vids like this
Beautiful footage! Although, I could have very much done without the gratuitous insertion of the camera team. Completely takes me out of the documentary every-time they are shown! I don’t want to be reminded that people are following them around with their caravan of vehicles, just to carry their wine and pillows! I just want to be with the nature!
They belong to the Serengeti.. it’s their motherland.. Great documentary with a cool narration.
God bless you all for your time and very hard jobs
Birds are so special to see that they can just pick up and fly off from whoever who
I loves and enjoy watching Wildlife Safaris Videos and thanks for sharing
I would like to address your theory on the wildebeest giving birth and pushing the baby away instead of feeding the baby due to the pain of giving birth, I theorize that the need to get baby up and moving because of the danger of being eaten by predators out way the need to feed the already healthy baby at birth, I oppose the association of pain would perhaps be the reason for not allowing the baby to eat after delivery. It has been said that the discomfort of having a child only last for a brief minute or two and the need to welcome and protect the baby is instant. If your theory was correct most mothers would only go through the pain of childbirth once. I can speak about this because I had three children naturally, without any pain medicine, by using the Lamaze method of childbirth and I can honestly say I have no memory of the event, good or bad. Due to the baby’s oxygen level it was not safe to have any sedative. The anticipation of pain can sometimes be overrated when you understand that pain is a signal or a warning of something that has happened or is about to happen that needs to be addressed not feared. I love your videos and I mostly enjoy your commentary while sitting right there in the thick of things.

I’m trying to figure out how are these people protected from the Lions. Especially, when they’re sleeping at night.
I don’t want to see people drinking wine, I want to see animals
Humans are so lucky they can just to the grocery store and buy anything they can afford
