Christine Goerner, River Crossing (Single Shot 2020)

The Great Migration is known as one of the greatest shows on earth. Witnessing endless herds crossing the Mara River is a truly awesome experience for the senses. The sight of thousands of wildebeest creating dust as they approach the river bank, the sound of the stampede, the smell of wildlife and the anticipation of the crossing cannot be described in words. Simply to be present is breathtaking and surreal. And to be able to capture this animal kingdom spectacle in a photograph is a privilege.
