Part 1 of our series starts with the dust of the disappearing migration as it heads off across the river and leaves. Behind them, hundreds if not thousands of other animals cannot move, or won’t move, because they are locked into territories, invisible barriers that say to them, ‘leave your bubble at your peril’. This is their story. It is the story about what happens between September and the following July. Nine months of wildebeest-free Mara.

Part 2 sets the scene, now the zebras wander off, a striped echo of part one. If the first episode is dusted in browns and yellows, this is green as the landscape changes and the rain turn again, rising rivers, making it difficult for everyone again, flooding, rushing waters in a raging torrent. Paradise it may be, but it is a harsh paradise. As the rains clear, we catch up with another character introduced in the first episode, our serval mother that had her den flooded; but she reveals that she has survived. And so has her cub – a miracle under these circumstances.
