TITLE: Wildebeest and the East African Savanna

I took this photograph in Masai Mara National Reserve during the wildebeest migration in July 2024. My safari guide spotted a herd moving towards the river, and we decided to wait on the opposite bank of the river, on a hill top, and away from the animals. The wildebeest did come down to the river bank to drink water, and a few minutes later, instead of crossing the river, decided to run back up the way they had come to the grassland. I was able to capture a few pictures of this brief mass movement of wildebeest running together, and this black and white rendition depicting the wildebeest and the grassland with a lone tree was one of my favorite.
