Tourism and Wildlife Cabinet Secretary Rebecca Miano has offered context on the video making rounds on social media of tourists seemingly blocking the wildebeest migration across the Mara River.
In a statement on Thursday, August 21, Miano acknowledged that the County Government of Narok had confirmed the incident occurred as the tourists were waiting for the water to subside at the flooded Purungat Gate.
The site is reportedly a rest area and viewpoint where tourists are often allowed to alight from their vehicles in the company of armed guards to use the toilet facilities or view hippos.
However, she stated that the ministry would still be taking action on the matter, issuing four recommendations to ensure the same does not recur.
