“Wildlife Safari’s climax is the wildebeest migration. This is a remarkable attraction that makes Kenya one of the best destinations in the world,” Mr Salim said.

He added: “We have publicised the event through our website magicalkenya.com, which has linkages with tour operators who book in tourists.”

Although he could not say how many tourists they had projected to visit as a result of the campaign, Mr Salim said their own experiences indicated that the visitors normally extended their stay to sample other diversified products across the country.
