The Jonathans arrived on a chartered plan and were received by the Governor of Narok, Samuel Tunai as seen in the photo below.
Tunai, who is also the council of governors tourism committee chairman, said more than 500,000 tourists from all over the world are expected to witness the spectacular crossing of wildebeest across the crocodile-infested Mara River.
Jonathan refused to speak with reporters on his arrival, Kenya media reports. He is the second digitary to visit the reserve in less than two weeks. The King of Swasiland, Mswati III was booked at the lodge last week.
The owner of the hotel where the Jonathan’s lodged, Nicky Fitzgerald, said this tourism peak season is different from the past as prominent personalities from across the world have been calling for bookings.
“We have received Mr Jonathan, King Mswati III, a Chinese prominent family and we are expecting other royalties,” she told reporters.
Fitzgerald attributed the boost in tourism in Kenya to President Barrack Obama’s visit July.
