KENYA: Great Migration In Kenya

In just a few months, travelers will head for East Africa to see one of the seven 'new' wonders of the world, the annual Great Migration of animals across the African plain. Mahali Mzuri, which is Sir Richard Branson’s 12-tented luxury safari camp in Kenya’s Olare Motorogi Conservancy, is gearing up for the iconic natural event.

Guests staying at the property's 12 luxurious tented suites will head out on twice-daily game drives with expert rangers and trackers.

During the migration, an estimated one million wildebeest plus hundreds of thousands of zebra, gazelles and other game animals will undertake a perilous journey of approximately 1,000 miles through Tanzania and Kenya.

Along the route, lions, hyenas, leopards and other predators take full advantage of the migration in looking for their next meal.

Mahali Mzuri is one of Virgin Limited Edition's collection of unusual retreats. The group includes such properties as Necker Island in the Caribbean’s British Virgin Islands, Ulusaba Private Game Reserve in South Africa, the Roof Gardens and Babylon Restaurant in London and Kasbah Tamadot in Morocco.
