Photographs show different viewpoints, dates and conditions. They do not establish current access to a particular route. Every image is credited below.
The Serengeti and Maasai Mara form a landscape of changing opportunities. Grass, water, shade and seasonal movement all help explain where animals may be found. A good safari makes time for ordinary behaviour as well as dramatic encounters. Watching one group for longer can reveal more than immediately driving towards the next radio report.
Choose the area and guiding style around the season and your interests. A migration map is a planning aid, not a reservation for a particular river crossing.
