You smell the dust stirred up by all those hooves, you hear the cacophony of lowing, expectantly you watch as thousands of wildebeest mill on the riverbank - suddenly, a couple of beasts breakaway, heading to the edge and then you are overwhelmed by the whole event – thousands of animals at once. This IS the “greatest natural show on earth”.
