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!

This was confirmed in a statement issued by the park management yesterday, Wednesday June 7,  and can been seen as a loss for all who knew Kris and for rhino conservation across the continent. “It is with utmost regret that I inform you that Krisztián Gyöngyi was killed this morning by a rhinoceros in   Akagera National Park  in Rwanda while out tracking animals in the park. Kris was instrumental in supporting the reintroduction efforts of the black rhino into Friends of Akagera National Park, and was on the ground training rangers how to track and protect them,’ Peter Fearnhead CEO of   African Parks  said. While his family has been informed, details of the incident are still being gathered. Krisztián was a rhino specialist with more than five years of experience monitoring and conserving rhinos in both Majete Wildlife Reserve and Liwonde National Park in Malawi. His Master’s degree was on habitat capacity on the black rhinoceros in Majete, and he had been car

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

-

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

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
