The ongoing wildebeest migration, which is concentrated in the Mara Region of Kenya at the moment, is drawing in some very high profile personalities. The latest ones being Goodluck Jonathan, the former Nigerian President, who arrived in Kenya for a three-day tour of the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, to witness this event. The other, King Mswati III, a prominent Chinese family, was also in Mara recently.

The back to back visit by renowned world leaders and the withdrawal of the travel advisory by UK is definitely going to boost the travel sector.  More than 500,000 tourists from all over the world are expected to witness the spectacular crossing of the wildebeest across the crocodile-infested Mara River.
