DENVER, CO (November 17, 2006) – In a truly international quest, a panel of experts partnering
with ABC’s Good Morning America and USA Today worked to develop a list of the “Seven New Wonders of
the World”. This panel agreed that of great importance on this list was a place that is relatively untouched by
humans and that is in need of preservation. The annual Great Migration, taking place in Kenya’s Maasai
Mara, made this list as an amazing “movable, natural wonder of the world.” Heritage Hotel’s Mara Intrepids
luxury tented camp, with a unique “front row” seat to this annual migration of Africa’s wildlife, hosted the
production team as they brought this spectacular natural event to over seven million viewers across the
globe this morning.
“The Great Migration is truly one of the most awe-inspiring natural events one can experience
today” said David Stogdale, Managing Director for Heritage Management, Ltd. “For years we’ve enjoyed this
annual occurrence and are thrilled to share this with Good Morning America and the world.”
Kenya’s Maasai Mara is home to the annual migration of millions of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle as
they constantly move clockwise through the Serengeti ecosystem. This 700-mile trek, finely tuned to the
region’s rainy seasons, has been taking place for millions of years. Heritage Hotels’ safari guides track this
annual migration on a regular basis and the company provides travelers with a monthly update on the
exact location of this natural migration with their “Migration Updates”, available online at:
