Visitors from all
over the world are flocking into the Serengeti National Park, in Tanzania to
witness the famous animal migration which is the “Greatest Show on Earth”, A massive
herd of wildebeests, zebras, and the Thomson Gazelles cross the Mara River in September on their last lap of about 1000 km of
“greener pasture pilgrimage” back into the Serengeti National Park.

“The Seventh World Natural Wonder”, the migration which is lead by 1.5 million
wildebeests followed by the zebras and Thomson Gazelles starting in the
Serengeti covers a round trip with a very short stay in the Kenya Maasai Mara
Game Reserve. This park is the only site in the world where the migration of
large inland mammals takes place.
In
testimony of this great nature treat, visitor Mrs. Truby Wivbennga, from the
Netherlands, in the company of her husband, Mr. Jan Wivbenga, said, “This event
is unbelievable and we are extremely happy to witness it by ourselves”.
The great migration starts in February every year, coming
shortly before the long rainy season when the wildebeests spend their time
grazing and giving birth to about 500,000 calves within a very short period
before departure in eye catching long columns.

ReplyDeleteWatanzaia tunasoma katika somo la jografia. Halafu m4c. Mna kazi kweli chadomo.
ReplyDeleteMsipende kuandika "Kenya". Ni sawa na kuwatangaza. Mkiangalia kwa umakini wao huwa hawaandiki "Tanzania". Inatosha kusema "...Maasai Mara game reserve". Hapa wakisoma mnataja nchi yao katika nyanja ya utalii wanachekelea tu, they also quantify it as in-kind support worthy, say, USD 900K against our loss of, say, 100 prospective tourists.
ReplyDeletehii kitu iwekwe kwenye silabasi ya shule za msingi na sekondari jamani. Halafu vyombo vya habari mbona havitangazi sana tukio hili adhimu? mathalani TBC kama chombo cha umma, kingekuwa kunatoa segment angalau mara moja kwa wiki, kutuonesha maendeleo ya migration hii
