Traveling is fantastic. If you’ve never had the travel bug hit you!!!, or feel just a little apprehensive planning a trip to a country you’ve never been to . Tourism allows wealth to be injected into a community in a variety of ways. Tourism supports the conservation of the local area. And some Africans countries are trying to build tourism among their citizens as it was always reserved for western population to travel and enjoy the nature themselves while many Africans were not aware of this relaxing activity. Some local and foreign tourists visiting some beautiful places in Rwanda Here we are going in Africa specifically in Rwanda as our case study to see how this country is surely motivated to tell Rwandans to participate in “ Tembera u Rwanda’ in local language aimed at motivating Rwandans to explore their own country and put the spotlight on domestic travel .  Camping is also another interesting activity that local people can enjoy a lot!

Reintroduction of lions in Akagera National Park (Rwanda) excites tour operators

-
Image
It was 1999, exact date unknown. A group of farmers from Kageyo village in eastern Rwanda were tiptoeing through Akagera National Park   on Tanzania’s border, returning to the carcass of a cow they had laced with poison the previous night. Lions have been on top of the must see list for many tourists visiting Rwanda and their reintroduction is a milestone for the country’s tourism sector As the contaminated corpse came into sight, the farmers noticed that their bait had been taken four lions lay dead in the dusty earth beside their final, fatal meal. Mission accomplished. Or not. “Next to the dead lions were the footprints of another lion, which had walked away,” recalled Kalisa Emmanuel, one of the farmers. “It hadn’t eaten the poison.” A pursuit ensued and the men soon located the lion. “It attacked us and one of us went down,” Emmanuel said. “The lion tried to kill him. It crushed his arm.” In the panic, Emmanuel scurried up a tree while another farmer speared the anima

The rolling hills of Acacia and Brachystegia Woodland coupled with scattered grassland and swamps-fronged lakes along the meandering Akagera watercourse combine to create a park of breathtaking scenic beauty landscape in Africa. For a fairly small national park, an Akagera safari can be extremely diverse with a variety of habitat

There is no happy Love on social networks according to Stromae To the tune of Habanera from Bizet, Stromae launched a warning face our consumption of social networks. it is the little blue bird Twitter that is the target of his song illustrated cartoon from the creators of the Triplets of Belleville. Already more millions of views in less time after realizing this video, we can say that this strategy  is successfull. it is even on tweeter that Stromae fully appreciated. Irony! [Verse 1] Love is like Twitter bird, [you are in love with or A beginner at] it only for 48 hours. First you are associated with it, and afterwards you follow. It becomes cracked and you end up alone.  Beware! and beware of those who you like, their plastic smiles are often hits by hashtag (#). Beware! Ah, friends, buddies, and followers you are making a mistake. It is only a false popularity. [Chorus] Beware! If you love yourself, beware of me! If I like myself, beware of us

Illegal wildlife trade produces billions of dollars a year globally; it is the second most lucrative illegal trading industry next to drug trafficking. Despite International and local laws designed to crack down on the trade, live animals and animal parts, often those of endangered or threatened species, are sold in open-air markets throughout the many regions of the World. Growing demand, leaky borders and the attraction of big money make it a rewarding business, the animals involved in trafficking end up as trophies, or in specialty restaurants. Some are used in Traditional Asian medicines. Conventional on International Trade of Endangered Species of fauna and flora (CITES) is there to make sure international trade in specimens of wild animals and plants does not threaten their survival. Most of heavily influenced by this Market is Asia, China in particular. Wildlife campaigners during London conference on illegal wildlife trade,the wildlife illegal trade wh worth Euro 12

The source of the Nile is in Rwanda, in Nyungwe forest!

-
Image
The longest river on our planet, the   Nile ,  takes its source in   Lake Victoria  (Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya), which is fed by a series of other rivers coming out of the other great African lakes.  The journey to the origin of the World’s longest river has fascinated explorers for centuries.  But could McGrigor, McLeay and MacIntyre succeed where Livingstone and Stanley failed? The "Ascend the Nile" expedition , (one Englishman and two New-Zealanders) reached the source of another indirect tributary of the Kagera River, the Rukarara river, in the heart of Nyungwe Forest, in Rwanda, which would therefore be the real source of the Nile, thus increasing its (already impressive ) length of 661 km by another 107 km! McLeay, Wellingtonian Garth Macintyre and Briton Neil McGrigor claim to have found a new source of Nile after travelling more than 6700 km tracing the Nile from The Mediterranean.  These explorers think they will have to prove that the Nile River source

The Mountain gorilla is one of the largest primates in the World

-
Image
Introduction The name "gorilla" was derived from an ancient account by a Carthaginian explorer who sailed along the west coast of Africa nearly 2,500 years ago. Local people shared their name for the great ape with him - the rough translation of which meant " hairy person ". The Mountain gorilla is one of the largest primates in the World with the male mountain gorilla, known as a Silver-back, often growing to twice the size of a female mountain gorilla. The Mountain gorilla has longer fur covering its body when compared to other gorilla species, allowing them to be able to withstand both hot and cold temperatures. The Mountain Gorilla in The Volcanoes National park in Rwanda Distribution The mountain gorilla is one of the two subspecies of the eastern gorilla. They are two populations; one is found in The Volcanic Mountains of Central Africa, within three National parks: Mgahinga, in South-West of Uganda; Volcanoes in North-West Rwanda; an

Tanzania: How Is House Crow Eradication Going on?

The   Indian House Crow ,   Corvus splendens . Actually is a native bird species found in India though it can be found in other part of the World like In Tanzania (East Africa). However, this is not a species I'm ever happy to see. Not because there aren't interesting things to say about it, of course, but because it really belongs in India and seems to cause a number of problems elsewhere . The indian House Crow (I.H.C) are native in India but they have been introduced in Tanzania as exotic species The interesting thing about house crows is that they originally come from India and south-east Asia. They were actually first introduced to East Africa in the late 1890s,   when they were apparently deliberately introduced to control rubbish on Zanzibar . they eat rubbish (lots of it too), but none was thinking that they might also like to eat other things too- like all the eggs and chicks of small native birds, or even young chickens (meaning outdoor chicken farming is
