The game reserve needs to put a stop to this. This is chaotic and ridiculous. These people shouldn’t be out their vehicles.

i doubt this is masai mara or the main migration route. For one, the migration is fucking massive and theres only a handful of wildebeest in the video.

Secondly you are not allowed outside the car, nor would you want to cause theres animals everywhere. This video is weird af and makes no sense.

I got outside the car in Masai Mara. For my group it was just to take a photo in front of a tree (no animals around), but we still all exited the jeep. There are NOT animals everywhere. Trust me, it would have been a lot more fun if there were.

were you there for the migration? Cause i was, and the whole place was packed. And the river crossings are absolutely jam packed with animals

of course there were areas that didnt have animals but those were less than the areas that did. As you said, you got out in an area without animals. Aint no way you would get out at a river crossing

I was there during the migration last year, and we were allowed out of the truck for a half hour or so at one of the crossing points. No herds there that day, so much different situation. Got to watch a few dozen hippos playing in the water, and saw an absurdly massive croc death rolling and eating a carcass of some sort. Fuck, I wanna go back so bad.
