A gorilla trek does more than create a memory. 🦍🌿

Uganda’s mountain gorillas are one of Africa’s most extraordinary wildlife experiences, but tourism around them also supports something much bigger.

Revenue from gorilla tourism helps fund conservation work and supports communities living around protected areas like Bwindi.

So when travellers step into the forest, the impact can continue long after the trek itself ends.

Sometimes the best journeys leave more behind than photographs.

🇺🇬 UGANDA IS OPENING SELECTED NATIONAL PARKS FOR FREE

From 25–27 September 2026, Ugandans will be able to enter selected national parks without paying park entry fees as part of Uganda’s Open Park Days ahead of World Tourism Day.

Participating parks include:

Murchison Falls National Park
Queen Elizabeth National Park
Lake Mburo National Park
Kidepo Valley National Park

Transport, accommodation and optional activities such as boat cruises and guided experiences are still paid separately.

If you’ve always said, “One day I’ll visit our national parks,” this might be your sign. 😅

Which park would you choose first?

4,000 KM. FOR A CHANCE TO FIND A MATE. 🐾

Three African wild dogs were tracked travelling nearly 4,000 km across Zambia while dispersing in search of mates.

That journey says a lot about how much space these animals need, how far they can move, and why connected wildlife landscapes matter so much.

African wild dogs are already one of Africa’s most fascinating predators — highly social, fast, intelligent and incredibly resilient.

Would you travel that far for love? 😭😂

You don’t always spot the leopard first.
Sometimes it has already spotted you.
That’s one of the things we love about being in the wild. There’s no script telling you what will appear next. You watch, wait, listen… and occasionally, something unforgettable steps out of the landscape.
This beautiful leopard was filmed around Mount Kenya 🇰🇪.
What animal would make your entire safari if you finally saw it in the wild?

Is 3 days enough for a Kenya safari?

Short answer: yes — if you don’t try to visit half the country 😅
A lot of first-time travellers feel like they need Mara, Amboseli, Nakuru and Tsavo in one trip.
But sometimes 3 days in one good area gives you a much better experience than 5 days spent mostly on the road.
If you only had 3–4 safari days in Kenya, would you rather:
see more parks
or
spend more time in one place?

You're flying to Kenya for safari.

Do you arrive with a wallet full of Kenyan shillings? Bring US dollars? Use your card? Or somehow figure out this thing Kenyans keep calling M-Pesa? 😅

The simple answer: don't rely on just one.

Kenya is surprisingly cashless. Cards are widely useful at established hotels and businesses, while M-Pesa is everywhere in everyday life. A little cash is still handy for things like small purchases, markets and tips.

So you don't need to exchange your entire travel budget before your safari.

Card for the bigger stuff. A little local cash for flexibility. And if you're staying longer, learning M-Pesa can make life considerably easier.

First time in Kenya? What part of paying for things here has you confused? 👀

Safari School question 🐘🚆

You've got 4 nights before heading to the Kenyan coast.

Would you choose:

Amboseli → Salt Lick → Tsavo East → Voi → Mombasa

or sacrifice one stop to make room for Tsavo West, Mzima Springs and the Shetani Lava Flow?

There's no universal right answer. It depends on whether you'd rather spend more time game viewing or build some of Tsavo's landscapes into the journey.

And that's something people sometimes miss when planning Kenya: a safari doesn't have to end where the beach holiday begins. You can work your way southeast through the parks, catch the SGR from Voi, and continue to the coast.

So, which would you keep if you only had four nights — Salt Lick or Tsavo West? 👀

THE OTHER GREAT MIGRATION 🌊🐋
When we hear Great Migration, most of us picture thousands of wildebeest moving across the plains of East Africa.
But there's another migration happening beyond the shoreline.
Each year, humpback whales travel through the western Indian Ocean, with Tanzania's waters around Mnazi Bay, Mtwara becoming part of that remarkable journey.
And today, 13 September, Tanzania marks Nyangumi Festival — celebrating whales, coastal heritage and the importance of protecting the marine ecosystems that make these encounters possible.
It's a completely different side of Tanzania.
No safari vehicle. No dusty plains. Just the Indian Ocean — and some of the largest animals on Earth passing through. 🌊
From wildebeest crossing the Mara to whales travelling through the ocean, Africa's migrations don't end at the shoreline.
🐋 Happy Nyangumi Festival, Tanzania.

WITHOUT THE RIVER, THERE IS NO CROSSING
Yesterday, we talked about September in the Mara.
The dust. The waiting. The moment one wildebeest finally moves — and thousands can follow.
But there is another side to that photograph.
The river itself.
The Mara River begins in Kenya and travels through the Mara–Serengeti ecosystem before eventually reaching Lake Victoria in Tanzania. Along the way, it supports wildlife, communities, livestock, agriculture and tourism on both sides of the border. Kenya News
And every year, during the Great Migration, it becomes the stage for one of Africa's most recognisable wildlife spectacles.
But the Mara is more than a place for us to watch wildebeest cross.
Pollution, degradation of its catchment, encroachment on wetlands and climate pressures are among the issues conservation stakeholders are gathering to discuss this year. Kenya News
That's why Kenya and Tanzania share Mara Day.
This Saturday marks the beginning of the 15th Mara Day programme in Bomet County, with conservation exhibitions, tree planting, environmental clean-ups, community activities and efforts to protect the river's riparian areas. lvbcom.org
The main celebration follows on 15 September.
This year's message couldn't fit the moment better:
“Mara River, Diverse Lives: Keep It Thriving.”
Because protecting the migration doesn't begin with the wildebeest.
It begins upstream. 🌿
