This extraordinary picture, taken by award-winning wildlife photographer Steve Bloom, shows just a fraction of the 1.5 million majestic wildebeest which cross the Mara River in Kenya every year.
They are joined on this incredible journey by 500,000 gazelle and 200,000 zebra.
(Zebra crossing: The path is fraught with dangers with hundreds of crocodiles in the water and lions and other preditors lying in wait on the other side.)
All vehicles are sure to stop for these guys.

Stunning image, just the kind of drama and lighting that I would love to reproduce in my own photos. I have recently purchased a BBC book ‘Wildlife Photographer of the Year’, which I highly recommend if you like this kind of image.
