No Images? Click here TIME FOR THE GREAT MIGRATION The herds are on the move! It’s time for the most famous migration in Africa, if not the world. Every year over a million wildebeests move across the plains of Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park from to the Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya, in a breathtaking journey of sheer guts and determination. Their migration patterns are driven by the rains and can take almost a whole year to complete but the thrilling river crossings one wants to see are usually between the months of July and August. Being amongst the heaving mass of thundering hooves and grunting gnus is worlds apart from experiencing it in front of your device. The best way to be in the thick of it all is in a Jenman African Safaris open-top vehicle. Follow the herds and experience this once in a lifetime opportunity with Jenman African Safaris East African Migration Discoverer tour.

The Responsible Tourism Partnership is working to improve the situation for the local people of the region and to bring about a sustainable and symbiotic relationship between the park, its animals, and the people. Find out more about this initiative which is turning to tourism to protect its wildlife and create a better life for its people. GREAT NEWS: MOUNTAIN GORILLA NUMBERS ON THE INCREASE Wild Mountain Gorillas are only found in three countries in Africa; Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Over the last few generations, these magnificent apes have become critically endangered due to poaching, deforestation, habitat encroachment and casualties of war. However, with concentrated conservation efforts, recently there has been some uplifting news that gorilla numbers are on the increase. In fact the Virunga Foundation in DRC has made ground breaking strides in gorilla conservation which has without a doubt contributed to this success. This bodes well not just for the gorillas but for the tourism industry as well.
