An anonymous video has emerged showing a group of people believed to be workers of a tourist camp in the Maasai Mara forcing a herd of Wildebeests to change their centuries-old route after crossing the river.
Between July and October the wildebeests set off in one of the most spectacular tourism scenes as they migrate from Maasai Mara to Serengeti parks. This migration attracts millions of tourists from across the world just to witness nature's wonders.
According to reports from this wild side, the waters pressure apparently caused a stampede and an unknown number of animals are said to have died as a result. This is said to have pushed the nearby camp workers to re-direct the migrating wildebeests.
Meanwhile, Kenya's Tourism Minister Najib Balala has demanded the removal of a tourist camp built next to the Mara River which is blocking the famous wildebeest crossing.
'I have discussed with Narok Governor Samuel Tunai, about the camp built beside the Mara River, blocking the wildebeest crossing. It's very disturbing and we expect the Governor to take action and have the camp removed,' Balala said.
