Hunting and being hunted in Kenya’s Masai Mara



See the great migration as never before! The Mara River, nature’s best laid trap for migratory animals, is the stage for a grandiose spectacle.

When food supply in the Serengeti dwindles, the Masai Mara is a paradise for predators. As the black wildebeests, gazelles, zebras and antelopes make their yearly trip from the south of the Serengeti to the north, nature’s best laid trap, the Mara River in Kenya is waiting ahead. Captivating shots filmed under water show how crocodiles prepare for the Big Hunt while other predators lurk on the banks awaiting their bounty.

The biggest problems for the migratory animals are the Mara and the Tarek River, where they have to put their lives at risk to get to the other side. A great number of them die as they jump into the river and break their legs, while others are carried away by the drift or drown. Those who are not victims of the river itself risk falling prey to the crocodiles. We entered this unchartered territory, the crocodile domain by heading under water.

Follow these predators in and around their habitat and watch prides of lions map out their game plan. In slow-motion, we show you the final showdown between predator and prey. Will it be a successful hunt or will the hoofed animals persevere?

    If the neck was only for male Giraffe battle, then the females would never have evolved a long neck also

    'need not fear the dark, they have no predators' guess all the vids of lions jumping on their backs were fake, edited, photoshopped???

    "No other predator have a higher successor than the Cheetah."

    The wild dogs in the same country have better successful hunting rate of 80%…

    I really wish that the small prey crossing the river can turn to a giant dragon and burn to a crisp the crocodiles and hippos 😆😆

    Wow I did not know Hippos are related to whales 🦛🐳. And the lions picking a fight with the croc is super brave, naive but brave. And the king bum rushing the wildebeests capturing whatever. He said screw a plan 🦁.

    It amazes me how tiny baby elephants, hippos & warthog are when they’re born.

    Life is simply designed to be unfair: some hunters roam unchallenged, while some hunted are simply defenseless

    Lesson learned: if ever become a wildebeast or gazelle in Africa stick to the middle of the herd. Great flick, thanks.

    The title of this video is misleading…40 mins in and I've seen one crocodile kill one wildebeest… So it's not about hunting at all, just a tame video with no action

    The most spectacular, fascinating chase. Many thanks to the entire crew member behind this video and all those ppl who liked my comment. I wish us great success, health, love, and happiness! It's great to have you here. 💗💗💗

    It should be a rule…only people with African of British accents should be allowed to narrate Masi Mara wildlife documentaries! Lol. They are just always the best!
