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?

  1. Flagging some false information in the documentary. In the early portion of the video the narrator erroneously states that no other predator has the success rate of a Cheetah when hunting. That cheetahs have a 50% success rate.

    That's blatantly false. African wild dogs/Painted dogs (depending on the terrain) have between a 66% – 91% success rate.

    They are literally the most successful pack hunter on the planet, and the most successful terrestrial predatory animal on the planet. Cheetahs are respectable hunters, but not even close to wild dogs.

  2. For a long time, I dreamed of visiting Africa but couldn’t make it happen. Now that I have the chance, my body isn’t up to it anymore. So I’m grateful for beautiful documentaries like this one. Thank you so much. I truly enjoyed it. I love elephants and all wildlife. Nature is pure love.

  3. The Masai Mara has been in great danger for years because of the hunters/ herders. They do horrible things to the lions, violate the laws and the protected territory of the reserve, and in the cruelest way, they end these beautiful animals that strive so hard to survive.

    This is a reality that cannot continue to be allowed. The Kenyan government must strive to enforce animal protection laws in reserves. These territories are being invaded by hunters/herders and are eliminating the lions.

  4. Explore the thrilling world of hunting and being hunted in Kenya's Masai Mara with this captivating full documentary. Witness the raw beauty and intense drama unfold in the heart of the African wilderness. A must-watch for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike!

  5. Lionessess seeing a dead untouched carcass being played with by the kids don't move in before there's Zero left. That's why she moved it only to stash it in a safer place as the males are most probably on a bigger carcass & they usually take down several in a good size pride when there's a river crossing going on.

  6. Sempre que vejo cenas de animais selvagens, percebo que não somos os únicos seres com direito à vida neste planeta. Os animais selvagens desempenham um papel fundamental no ecossistema e, sem eles, o mundo perderia uma parte essencial da vida.
