Waiting by the river.

On a morning game-drive along  the banks of the Mara river, we came upon a crocodile waiting in the river which  is home to some of the biggest Nile crocodiles in the Serengeti. Many times we have found them floating with only their back showing, as was the case today, and that is the way they deceive and trap animals coming to drink water. The crocodiles of the mara river have over the years eaten thousands of wildebeests that cross their way in the waters. At the moment they are waiting for food to come to them again as from the months of June onwards when we expect the migration.
