Every year, 2 million animals travel about 500 miles through Tanzania and Kenya in a legendary movement called the Great Migration. On April 16, Lucas John Mhina, an East African native and safari leader, will be in Charlotte, North Carolina, to speak to members of the community about the migration. Attendees will have the opportunity to take this incredible journey through Mhina’s first-hand experiences in East Africa. The event, which is free and open to the public, will be held from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Charlotte Junior League Building in the Community Room located at 1332 Maryland Ave.

Mhina is a safari guide on Road Scholar’s Tanzania and the Great East African Migration program operated by Holbrook Travel. He was born and raised in Arusha, Tanzania, and began his career as a trip leader in 1999.

At the event, Mhina will lead participants on a virtual expedition throughout the wonders of Tanzania including Mount Kilimanjaro, Olduvai Gorge and the Serengeti. If you live in the Charlotte area, this is an event you won’t want to miss.
