Online search engines pick up information that is put out by advertisers, bloggers and property owners with bucket list experiences heavily weighted to favour staying at a particular property. For example:

• A Serengeti lodge advertised as being in a prime location for the Great Wildebeest Migration may only witness the Migration within driving distance for 2 - 3 weeks of the year. This lodge is shown on search engines as a top choice for this bucket-list experience year round.
