New app tracks Africa’s great wildebeest migration

A tailor-made safari operator, Discover Africa, has developed an app which enables the spectacular wildebeest migration to be tracked in real-time.

HerdTracker is a real time Google map, which shows instant updates of the exact location of the migrating herds. This is coupled with a migration map, which gives monthly migration predictions, based on data from people on the ground in the Serengeti – local pilots who fly over the Serengeti and Masai Mara, safari guides, Tanzania National Parks Authority rangers and lodges in the Masai Mara in Kenya.

The migration map gives people planning to go to Africa on safari and hoping to see one of nature’s greatest spectacles, access to a month-by-month prediction, so that they can get themselves to the right place at the right time.
