A million wildebeest, each driven by the same ancient rhythm, fulfill their instinctive role in the cycle of life. They engage in a frenzied three-week bout of territorial conquests and mating, followed by a survival of the fittest as 40km (25-mile) long columns plunge through crocodile-infested waters on their annual exodus north. This replenishes the species in a brief population explosion that produces more than 8,000 calves daily before the 1,000 km (600-mile) pilgrimage begins again.

Magnificent Wildlife

The only living things that truly belong to Africa are the wild animals. There is an understanding between the animals and Africa that humans have not yet earned.
