We consider the action of the semigroup of $n\times n$ integral matrices with positive determinant, on the space of $p$-tuples of $n$-vectors, where $p<n$. Then the orbit of a $p$-tuple is dense whenever the coordinates are not all contained in a proper rational subspace.  We discuss the aspects of effectiveness of approaching a general target point, in terms of the sizes of the matrices involved. The critical exponents of the behaviour will be discussed.
