Image
  What is new on Rwanda Safari Mountain Gorillas, Photo credit by Franck Jacobs   Rwanda is commonly known as the land of hills, covered in small but very many hills that bring out the beauty and the specialty in a small place. It prides its self in the Gorillas that a few hours’ drive away from the Kigali city. Gorilla trekking is the main draw card of a Rwandan safari. After arriving at the capital city of Kigali, you are only a few hours’ drive away from the legendary Volcanoes National Park and its habituated but still wild gorilla families. The Gorillas of Rwanda are in the Virunga Volcanoes; too much effort has been put in conserving. This all started by the late Dian Fossy who started the Gorillas for about 19+ years.

Solo traveler on self-drive safari

Image
A Solo traveler or getting on the road alone for an adventure is a dream come true but whether to be on a self-drive or guided safari is question to ask yourself. Traveling alone or traveling alone and meet strangers along the safari. To make it through the adventurous vacations in Uganda and east Africa at large you need courage, given the African history that most people fear. By the time you choose a solo travel, the only thing you need is quality time alone and the best of the adventures. Why pay a company to second-guess your likes & dislikes. Read some itineraries, look up the places others go & then compile a "wish list". Come back with more specific ideas of what exactly you need inform them and they advise. You can of course opt out of some or all of their suggestions. I'm conscious of not wasting anyone else's time and would advocate at least considering the package. These packages may be tailor made to suite your desired terms and conditions or choo...

How will the future of travels industry on a self drive safari will change after the pandemic?. By every measure, the coronavirus pandemic has changed the travel industry. Whether we want it or not self drive travel is completely changed and for the better this time. With Approximately 100 million travel sector jobs, according to world health organization , have been eliminated or will be. Many travel sectors and travelers will soon embrace self drive safaris when all returns to normal. Slowly slowly countries and some regions in countries are opening up.

What we know for a fact that the pandemic will soon fade away slowly but its effects will stay somehow longer and most probably some will stay forever. Meaning guided safaris in the travel industry will be limited as well as people fear each other. Yet the desire to travel will not go away: According to the d...
