BANJI WHITE DOLPHIN AND WEST AFRICAN BLACK RHINO.

Baiji White Dolphin Baiji White Dolphin, its other name is Chinese River Dolphin, it can only be found in the Yangtze River in China. These mammals could grow to eight feet long and weigh up to a quarter of a ton. They relied on echolocation to navigate and hunt for pray due to their tiny eyes and very poor eyesight. Living in the Yangtze for 20 million years, their numbers declined drastically from the 1950s onward. As China industrialized, the river was used for fishing, transportation and hydroelectricity which had a huge effect on the mammals. Although not officially recorded as extinct, no one has seen a Yangtze River Dolphin since 2002. white Dolphin(pic wikimedia) 2. WEST AFRICAN BLACK RHINO.

5 BOOKS TO INSPIRE YOUR 2020 TRAVEL ADVENTURE.

1. THE GOOD GIRLS' GUIDE TO GETTING LOST by Rachel. “I imagine the people whose lives are most intertwined with mine, and I realize life has gone on without me. The planet has not imploded because I, the girl who has always done what is expected of her, decided not to, just this once.” I love this book mostly because it’s so relatable! Rachel Friedman is the typical goody two shoes who has lived all her life by the books. On a whim, she decides to buy a ticket to Ireland where she met a free-spirited Australian girl who inspires her to travel to Australia and South America. It is a funny and honest memoir of how she breaks free from her shell as she travels across three continents, learning how to live in the moment.   2. ON THE ROAD, by Jack Kerouac. “The best teacher is experience and not through someone’s distorted point of view” Naturally, no best travel books list would be complete without Jack Kerouac’s  On the Road . The book’s whimsical storytelling will

WHY CULTURAL TOURISM WILL BE NO MORE IN 20 YEARS TIME IN AFRICA.

THE MASAI COMMUNITY OF KENYA . Culture is away of life of people. the customs and beliefs, arts, way of life and social organization of a particular country or group. it is the beliefs and attitude about something that people in a particular group or organization share and appreciates, that is why, a country that has a group of persons without culture or tradition that binds them together ends up in chaos. As a traveler i have been in almost 27 African nations and what i saw is abandonment of culture as we Africans seek western life which we see as modern not knowing these fading cultures are the only true resources that can and will guide our success in the future, take for example china, they never abandoned their culture rather they guarded it with all their might and now their economies is booming, thanks to their culture which is now gaining global attention, apart from economy, the cultural practices in china has led to inventions of modern medicines, technology, everlas

THE MOVING MOUNTAIN.

In one of my many visits to Tanzania, i visited the mysterious mountain in Ngorongoro, and ooooh my the mountain moves, i guess this should be included in the history book as the ninth wonder of the world. according to Mark the   Mountains normally don't move, but there is a mysterious hill of dark sand which has been travelling at the speed of 20 meters per year in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority (NCCA).  and former Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete, once expressed concern why the country is not marketing this wonder of nature as much as it deserves. "I once picked a handful of the sand from the dune and placed it in the car and surprisingly it continued to move even in there," This hill is breath taking and as a traveler it is a place to visit.
