The Ultimate Thrill, by Martin Meyer

The ultimate thrill for any photographer is the great wildebeest migration! It is a spectacle of dust, noise, hooves, and mega-herds. Following the Seronera river gave us the opportunity to track these vast herds of plains game in the Serengeti–Mara region, which stretched as far as we could see. This Photograph was shot on safari in the northern Serengeti plains of Tanzania.
