Giraffes Crossing the Mara River

- I have spent many, many hours on #safaro at this spot on the Mara River watching #wildlife and this was my first time getting to see #giraffes making their away across. I watched them for about 15 minutes, slowly walking across, always alert to their surroundings and stepping carefully as they can’t see the bottom. At one point, a small herd of zebra came down to drink and the giraffe patiently waited for them to finish. Known animal crossings are a favourite place for predators to lie in wait, and you can certainly see how tentative and patient the giraffes are to ensure it is safe to make their way on shore. What an amazing privilege! The river sounds were quite loud, and you can hear a few hippo vocals as they looked on.

With the sounds and the beautiful footage, I felt like I was standing on the beach watching them. Thank you for the amazing experience!
Giraffes are so graceful and so patient. What a beautiful video. I love to hear the sounds of the animals and the water and just nature. Thank you very much for sharing. Beautiful zebras too. ❤
This is Beautiful🥰
Thank you for including the spectacular sounds too🙏❤️
Wonderful video! I've never seen photo of video of them in water.
I ❤ love nature
A special moment that you were so fortunate to capture. Talk about being in the right place at the right time. Thank you for sharing all the incredible sights and sounds you always so eloquently provide for your viewers, whether video or stills.
Step by step !!! This is truly amazing watching them carefully forge through .💕💕🐾🐾❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
That was spectacular, dear NJ! Amazeballs!!! 💨❤️🐾
You can almost feel how compromised they are feeling as they walk 'gingerly' across. They look so delicate. Awesome video...another keeper for my NJ Folder!
I don't think this is in New Jersey.
They are so majestic and graceful. What a treat for you to get this video, and share it...Thank-you
That’s so cool!!
Another viewing, love the bird song. 💨❤️🐾
Quá hay anh ỏi👍👏👍👏🔔🔔🇻🇳❤❤❤❤
Love them!!
Cautiously, one step at a time!
Thank you for sharing. I always learn a lot from your posts and TH-cam videos.
Beautiful video. What a privilege to witness this. I wonder just how giraffe's can defend themselves? Stomping or kicking predators?
incredible!!!
A privilege to watch your video, NJ!
Omg I can’t hardly wait 💕💕🐾🐾❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Fabulous video.
Good the crocs didn’t get them! Great video - thanks!
Such graceful creatures. I am sometimes sad for wildlife who have to be on the lookout for predators.
agreed - truly amazing to see - thanks!
Amazing! ❤
They made it
Beautiful!
Wow, amazing!
So beautiful ❤️
What a beautiful sight!
Do they think walking in slow motion makes them less noticeable? 😂
Not sure what alerts crocodiles...
Vibration? Splashes?
But Mara is well known for them
Was that the giraffes making that sound I heard? They sure are lovely!
Hippo
Beautiful ❤
Do giraffes and zebras get along? Where the giraffes waiting for the zebras to leave before continuing on? Was that the giraffes making that grunting noise? So many questions!
See video description.
Quick, giraffes, or you might be attacked by the C's...!
I was really worried that they wouldn’t make it across the river. I kept thinking,”Hurry up. Hurry up.” I thought something would attack them. So the sound at the end of the video… Is that what giraffe sound like?
Hippo
Giraffes 🦒
These giraffes are so slow. What if they are attacked by hippos or crocodiles?! How will they defend themselves?
Did you read the video description?
@@njwightwildlife What do you have in mind ? Do you want to say that this is slow motion, but in fact the giraffes moved quickly?
Are they being cautious due to the current, unsure footing, or the zebras? Who is honking?
Hippo honking!
was that the Zebra neighing?
Hippo.😂
Yigh.
