a claim the management denies. The bbcs Ferdinand Omondi reports. This is one of can yous most amazing natural resources. This is a major event for tourists and a magnet for investors in the park.

The regulator paid the camp a visit. Regulators said they had approved approvalfor half regulators said they had approved approval for half the number. They we re approval for half the number. They were a bill in the area of the river and we have given orders for
immediate removal.

But this statement from the camps management denies any wrongdoing. It also regrets the incident and tells workers were only protecting guests who are present at the camp from stampeding animals and the potential loss of life. In spots along the river, there is premium. You can sell it to guests as a front row seat to all the spectacle from the comfort of your tent.

Conservationists are warning that across the wild, migratory animals like wildebeests are under threat from human activity. That migration routes are being cut up by fences
and structures as their roaming areas shrink further. In the river, dozens areas shrink further. In the river, d oze ns of areas shrink further. In the river, dozens of camps like these are built right next to the rivers for the animal strength and cross.
