Tourists blocking Kenya's Great Migration have sparked outrage after wildebeests were forced back into crocodile-infested waters, prompting swift action from officials.

Kenya is facing global criticism after tourists were caught obstructing the Great Migration in the Maasai Mara, forcing panicked wildebeests back into the Mara River—where crocodiles were lying in wait.

The recent incident, which unfolded near Purungat Bridge, has triggered a wave of public and conservationist anger, with calls for urgent regulatory changes to protect one of the world’s most iconic wildlife spectacles.

Footage circulating widely on social media shows tourists stepping out of safari vehicles and clustering along the riverbanks, leaving the animals barely a metre to pass.
