WildEarth in partnership with HerdTracker will be live
streaming the wildebeest migration via Facebook and YouTube in Kenya’s Masai
Mara National Reserve from 20 to 25 September 2016.
The live broadcasts will be hosted daily on HerdTracker’s Facebook
page and WildEarth’s safariLIVE YouTube channel between 16:00 to
23:30 EAT (East Africa Time) and will centre around the wildebeest migration
crossing the Nile crocodile-infested Mara River as well as predatory action of
lions hunting at night in the Masai Mara.
WildEarth will also be broadcasting live from South Africa’s
Sabi Sand Game Reserve in South Africa, an excellent Big Five safari
destination which shares a border with the Kruger National Park.
Authentic African safari experience
Graham Wallington, CEO of WildEarth hopes to show viewers who tune in to
the live broadcasts an authentic African safari experience.
“One of the scenes that is brought to mind when people think
of Africa, are the vast expanses of open land and myriads of different
herbivorous species streaming across these great plains as they follow the
torrential rains, always seeking out the best grazing areas. Of course, this is
an absolute feast for the predators who really get their claws stuck in after
sunset.”
“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, so don’t miss out on a second of the action.”
Encouraging international travellers
to visit Kenya
Andre Van Kets, creator of the HerdTracker web-app which
tracks the wildebeest migration in real-time and removes the fear that
travellers have when planning a migration safari, hopes that by
broadcasting the wildebeest migration live, it will encourage more
international travellers to make Kenya their chosen holiday destination and to
experience this natural phenomenon for themselves.
“The wildebeest migration is one of nature’s greatest
spectacles. The river crossings are the main reasons why thousands of
travellers flock to the Masai Mara every year. We want to show the world just
why they need to witness it for themselves here in Kenya.”
Other live broadcasts of the
wildebeest migration
In October 2015, HerdTracker in partnership with Make It
Kenya hosted #MaraLive - the world’s first live web
broadcast of the great wildebeest migration from the Masai Mara, Kenya via
Twitter’s Periscope app.
