See the Wildebeest Migration in the Mara Triangle… on Google Earth!: “

We’re in the process of installing tracking devices into our vehicles here at the Conservancy, and as our Land Cruiser arrived at Oloololo Gate I had a quick peek at its progress over on Google Earth.

Since I’ve last been on it seems that Google have updated the satellite image for the top of the Mara Triangle, and you can even see the new toilets that we’ve constructed over at Oloololo (in the top left hand corner).

I also noticed that our grader is parked outside of the rangers quarters, which means that it’s just after we had completed grading the roads inside the Triangle and were about to grade the roads towards all the camps and lodges that are on the outside, just at the beginning of August when the migration was in full swing.

You must at least be able to see some wildebeest, I thought.

Well, you can.

That’s quite a few thousand of the chaps swarming their way up towards the north of the Triangle.

I’m sure you’d quite like a look around yourself, and if you don’t have Google Earth installed you can have a look with Google Maps below:’

This is pretty cool. The updates don’t extend to the area of Ken’s Mara camp yet, but the coverage is getting better.
