SHAME on Tanzanians! They are blocking wildebeests coming to Kenya
The Kenyan DAILY POST County News 03:38


Monday July 23RD 2012 - Tanzanians livings around the Serengeti Game
Reserve have set the area on fire to block the wildebeest migration.

Their decision to block the wildebeest migration has brought many
concerns to the Kenyan government. The fires which have so far lasted
two weeks have delayed hundreds of wildebeests from Serengeti plains
gathered on the Mara River from crossing into Kenya. Hundreds of acres
of reserves in the northern Tanzania along the migratory route are
still on fire and this has been pushing back the animals.

The Mara Game Reserve usually receives many visitors at these times
when the wildebeest migration kicks off and is the annual tourism peak
season.

The custodians of the reserve and the Narok County Council have
appealed to the Ministry of Tourism and that of Foreign Affairs to
talk with the respective ministries in Tanzania to resolve the
situation.

Mr. Michael Ole Koikai, the chief warden of the reserve said that
tourist who started to camp at the banks of river have been forced to
wait because of the delays brought about by the fire.

He claimed that the animals had attempted to cross twice but could not
access the river.

"Many tourists are being forced to pay more than they had planned for
because they don't want to leave before experiencing the spectacular
7th wonder of the world,'' Mr Koikai said.

Stakeholders, who are already afraid of losing revenue, have joined
the call for the government to intervene.
