I was recently on a Safari at Masai Mara National Park in Kenya this year for the Great Wildebeest Migration. Every year during the season of the Great Migration the zebras must take the risk of crossing many rivers in order to get to the grass that they badly need in order to survive. If the zebras do not get to their source of food they may perish. Sometimes, after crossing a river full of hungry crocodiles, the zebras do not find good grass on the other side. Then they will turn around and go back through the same river to face the vicious crocodiles all over again.
The narrator in video was my Safari guide Jonathan Lenjir. Jonathan was an amazing guide. Johnathan is a Masai Warrior from the Masai tribe in Kenya.

My one real joy in life is travel and sharing my travel experiences with others - the good and the bad. If you look at my videos you can see that I try to show extraordinary and beautiful things, even in harsh conditions.

I originally posted this video, in particular, because it shows the amazing and strong will of the animals of Masai Mara National Reserve to live, something many of the viewers picked up on. One viewer called the zebra in this video "Zebraheart," like Braveheart. That's exactly what I was trying to show! Masai Mara National Reserve, like many of the wild places left in this world, is beautiful and harsh - just like life.

I am sorry, I did feel very bad for the pain that the zebra went through. It was very difficult to watch and witness in person. In no way do I wish to disrespect this zebra. She was so very strong, she fought against 4 crocodiles and was still standing. I will never forget how hard this zebra fought for her life. It makes me feel an even greater respect for life and all living things. Life is so fragile and precious. This happens every day in the wild where no one can see the intense struggle to live.
