TITLE: Leap of Faith

Across fertile and dangerous terrain of Kenya and Tanzania, over one million Wildebeest and Zebra follow a continuous migration across the plains of the Maasai Mara and Serengeti in search of fertile grasslands. This journey requires crossing the Mara River on several occasions, where swift currents and numerous predators lie in wait. In this image, a lone mature Wildebeest takes a true leap of faith, as it launches itself into the river, well above the masses.
