Kenya's wildebeest migration broadcast live online

The whole world will on Tuesday beginning 4pm get the opportunity to have a glimpse of Kenya's greatest wonder for almost seven hours straight.

The spectacular wildebeest migration set to commence on September 20 to 25, 2016, will be showcased live from the Maasai Mara National Reserve on WildEarth’s SafariLIVE YouTube channel and on HerdTracker’s Facebook page.
On Tuesday, the dazzling scene which is also one of the major tourist attractions will be streamed from 4pm to 11pm.

According to WildEarth Chief Executive Graham Wallington the live broadcast is aimed to appeal to wildlife lovers across the globe for them to come to the country.
“After the sun has gone down, we are going to be using infrared lighting and thermal imaging for the very first time during our live safaris,” Mr Wallington was quoted by the Nation.

According to HerdTracker web-app founder Andre Van Kets, trap cameras placed through the Maasai Mara and Serengeti will capture the phenomenal and grand migration in the world.
“The wildebeest migration is one of nature’s greatest spectacles and the river crossings remain the biggest reason why thousands of travellers flock the Masai Mara every year. We want to show the world just why they need to witness it for themselves here in Kenya,” Mr Kets said.

The transmission will be accompanied with live updates from the rest of the Game Reserve's plains as the wildebeest proceed to cross the Mara river.
