Wildebeest migration presents perfect chance for revival of tourism

The spectacular, breath-taking natural phenomenon famously known as the wildebeest migration is about to take place, and already anticipation is high. Tourists, be they local or foreign, who have witnessed the migration before, get drawn to it again as a piece of metal would to a magnet.

Players in the tourism industry are upbeat about it and the expectation of high numbers of tourists, despite travel advisories, has seen a number of hotels around the Mara and Serengeti ecosystems record over 80 per cent more bookings.
