The great African migration and Joubert
Dereck and Beverly Joubert know Africa as the palm of your hand. This leads African marriage 30 years recording African wildlife and they know all about lions and leopards, their favorite. If you do not know who you are I will comment that has to his credit five emmys for its prestigious and spectacular documentary. They are explorers in residence for National Geographic (como Jane Goodall, Leaky los o Zahi Hawass, eg). I think the more you have located. Indeed they are the makers of many of these documentaries on African wildlife. These epic documentaries that are part of our life.
Last summer they were involved in the filming of the last major production of National Geographic, series of documentaries about the Great Migration animals which premiered last November. They were responsible for shooting the large herd of wildebeest, zebras and gazelles-the great herd, colloquially known as- Every year it moves through the Serengeti to the Masai Mara fresh pastures. So that summer were in Kenya, on the banks of the Mara River, where the great migration of herbivores is concentrated between June and November first to cross the mythical river.
When something sounds on the radio, tens undertake the race car-style Fernando Alonso to try to get the best view of the show
A year ago it, share migration time on the banks of Masai Mara. Your car next to mine. They had been stationed there since early morning, without moving, to keep your grandstand ticket at the spectacle of migration.
Vehicles 4×4 commonly used carriers and guides are equipped with radius safaris. A necessary element to any adversity in the vast savannah. The way radio has other advantages over "tourist"; vehicles communicate with each other to be warned and informed of interesting sightings to their customers. As a car located a leopard and radio communicates its position, do not spend more than five minutes until the leopard is surrounded by cars and "Paparazzi". It's the good and the hand of telecommunications in African national parks (Kenyan and Tanzanian, fundamentally). The tranquility is soon lost, especially for the animal, but to change our likelihood of extraordinary experiences and observations in nature are multiplied.
Something similar happens in times of migration crossing the Mara River, in the Masai Mara National Reserve. There are certain points along the runway, for its relief, are prone to large herds of herbivores decide to ford the river by them. There are several reasons but mainly due to are places low current and output facility especially for the opposite shore. If it is difficult to launch into a crocodile-infested river imagine do it without a clear exit. Again the role of cars in April×4 is crucial. Conveniently scattered along the banks warn others about it on the radio different times of the wildebeest crossing, zebras and gazelles in store throughout the day, especially between July and September.
When something sounds on the radio, tens undertake the race car-style Fernando Alonso to try to get the best view of the show. That if in a hurry and do not want to miss, thing that often happens, they do not spend more than 2 or 3 days in the reserve. If we have all the time in the world, as is the case of Joubert, wagered nothing better than a great place and not move, eventually cross in front of them and then you can record those dreamlike images that have become world famous. Once again the spectacle of the wildebeest crossing the river, again the lurking crocodiles, again one of the most exciting major wildlife documentaries in store. And there beside them, positioned our car. At first I did not realize, but soon fell into the importance of my neighbors. Deluxe Double as the banks of the Mara River, wildlife river par excellence.
