Wildebeest migration takes place without tourists in year of the pandemic

Kenya Wildebeest Migration

East Africa’s great wildebeest migration went largely unwatched this year as the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic are felt as far as the continent’s wilderness.

Travel restrictions kept tourists away for the annual wildlife migration in Kenya’s Maasai Mara National Reserve and only a handful of guides and park wardens were there to watch thousands of wildebeest antelopes make their famous trek in search of new grazing pastures.
