New road threatens Africa's 'wonder of the world' wildebeest migration

The migration of vast herds of wildebeest and zebra from Tanzania into Kenya has for decades attracted conservationists armed with clipboards and tourists wielding cameras.


But a new commercial highway is to be built which will cut through key migration routes and could permanently change this marvel of nature.

About the Mara River

The Mara River starts in the mountains of Kenya and runs across the Tanzanian border into Lake Victoria. The Mara River is home to one of the great natural wonders of the world. Every year, over a million wildebeest, zebra and antelope migrate across the Serengeti to drink from its waters, as the only perennial water source in the region.
