Safari is the Swahili word for "journey." To most people, that journey usually includes viewing wild animals in their natural habitat and hopefully surviving to tell the tale. Before you plan your safari trip, there are a number of things you need to consider, from the animals you want to see, to the transportation you'll use to see them. The variety of safari options and combinations is truly mind-boggling, so it will help to break the subject down into a few important parts. Mammals, Birds or Reptiles The first thing you need to do is decide which animals you want to see. Big 5-- Lion, Leopard, Buffalo, Rhino and Elephant: If you want to see all of these animals in one trip, the Masai Mara in...
The first step in planning a walking safari is to decide on the type of safari that suits you best. The following summary offers some explanation of the differences between: "wilderness trails", "backed up" walking safaris and trails from fixed bases (tented camps, seasonal bushcamps and lodges) Wilderness Trails These walking safaris are well suited to active and adventurous participants. They offer a rare and intimate opportunity to explore and learn about the African bush, its game and birdlife. These are "full participation" camping type safaris on which trailists and camp staff carry all gear and provisions in backpacks. In all cases the safari is lead by an armed Professional...
Cycling safari's are conducted from the Mashatu Tent Camp for a minimum of 8 guests and a maximum of 14 guests, at no additional charge. A levy will be charged for individual guests requiring a cycling safari from Mashatu Main Camp or Mashatu Tent Camp. This must be requested on confirmation of the reservation and is subject to availability. Cycling safaris are recommended only in the winter months of April through to September. Radio-linked groups of cyclists accompanied by armed rangers set out at dawn and again at dusk in search of the diverse variety of fauna, flora and historic artefacts that abound throughout the reserve.

Canoeing Safari
A pre-departure and safety briefing is given by your guide the evening before your launch - usually at Kariba Breezes Hotel. Safety is the foremost concern of the guide and operators. Any safari activity should be considered potentially hazardous and whilst all reasonable efforts and precautions are taken by operators, the guides are rigourously trained, are qualified and experienced - their instructions on the day must be strictly adhered to. The briefing is often your first opportunity to meet your safari companions - a good time to ask questions and bail out if in doubt. The first day starts shortly after breakfast with a quick shopping stint in Nyamhunga or Mahombekombe to collect last minute...
Did Redhat Linux or Windows Xp Computed 2 Power...
If you ask any computer expert about the advantage of computer use, two of their answers will be: The numeric computation capability, and the speed at which any task is done.There many more advantages for using computers, but I will stress on the numeric computation aspect of those advantages.I have done a test involving numeric computing to test the power of my Central Processing Unit of my computer. What I also did the test using Windows Xp and Redhat Linux, which are both installed on the same computer.One of the reasons why I did the test, that I am about to explain, was my urge to sense the power of computer by looking at the screen.Another reason was, I was getting fed up with Hearing about...
I have wondered just who are the ancestors of the shih tzu. Like all other dog breeds, shih tzu ancestors most likely come from five choices: Grey Wolf, Golden Jackal, Coyote, African Wild Dog. It is hard to imagine our little shih tzu baby dolls has any of these wild characters in their background. According to researchers, all canines have their roots in one of these five categories. I don't think I could ever be in love with a real live wolf or a coyote. A coyote makes those strange sounding "howls." I have some shih tzu that have a howl sound rather than a bark.Out of the five groups, wolves and dogs share 71 of 90 charted behavioral patterns, more than any other two canid species. My...
Aid for Africa?
Why, after all these years, are so many countries in Africa still dependent upon Western aid? Has such aid truly helped the situation or encouraged them to let others do for them what they won't do for themselves? (As the saying goes, you can give a man a fish and he'll eat once or you can teach him how to fish and he'll eat plenty of times). Has such assistance truly served the long-term interests of Africa or merely the self-interests of burgeoning bureaucracies? Why does the white world of the West seem more concerned for the welfare and security of Africans than do many of Africa's tyrannical leaders? I raise this question because the West is usually despised as former colonialists and...

How Pheromone Concentrates Work
In many commercial labs around the world, workers are busy synthesizing special chemicals that both men and women will buy hoping to attract more of the opposite sex. No, these aren't aphrodisiacs in a bottle, they're pheromones. What are pheromones?Pheromones are special chemicals released by animals that help to communicate something to other animals. These chemicals were probably the very first form of communication between life forms on Earth. These messages can vary but often they influence mating, fertility, and child rearing. In humans, pheromones have been shown to affect women's menstrual cycle and perceived attractiveness of the opposite sex. Like hormones in our body that tell our...
The Big Cats of East Africa
The most charismatic of all the animals that roam the savannas of East Africa are the big cats. Safari enthusiasts exercise great patience and go to great lengths to ensure a sighting. To behold the beauty and splendour of the big cats in the wild is a prospect that warms the heart of every nature lover. Among a number of the ancient civilizations - the Romans, Sumerians, and Egyptians- the big cats were held in fascination and in higher esteem than any other wild animals. Some were indeed taken as gods, and many are the kings who have set images of the big cats on their royal emblems.The big cats have in the past been more widely dispersed in the world than they are today. In our time, the redoubts...

South Africa offers tourists coming to our country a huge choice of holiday destinations. But its the Drakensberg Mountains that are still kept as an secret place thats seems a bit off the normal beaten track and while some folks do make it to the Drakensberg most dont.The best place to start your journey would be to download the free Drakensberg Tourist Map which will give you a great idea of where everything is. This is the only to scale tourist map thats available for the region. It shows all the back roads, indicates which are recommended and which are not and indicates how far things are. But what I like about the map is that its freely distributed, includes all the activities that the region...

African Travel Tips For Visiting Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe's biggest draw is undoubtedly the majestic Victoria Falls, one of the seven natural wonders of the world. But the country also has other natural and historical advantages to captivate travellers and beckon them to return. Wildlife, fish and birds abound including a number of unique, rare and endangered species making game viewing, bird watching, fishing and hunting popular activities.Home to four World Heritage Sites, Zimbabwe has a rich history of ancient civilisations that makes its friendly people stand proud, despite hardship.

Meat is murder - I understand that - but what if it weren't murder? Would it be alright to eat it, then? The reason I was thinking of this was that I almost hit a couple of wild turkeys while driving to work today and it occurred to me that if I had hit them it wouldn't be murder at all and their meat would be free of the stigma of cruelty that taints most meat. And I should be able to eat themwith a clear conscience. (In Wisconsin if you hit wild animals you are allowed to keep the meat for yourself, so it also would have been total legal. I suppose you can't try to hit them and you have to stay on the road, but other than that it's okay).That example was hypothetical, but I've got a real-life one...
Weak El Nino hits South Africa
A high probability of poor rainfall and higher than normal temperatures were forecast for December, January and February by the SA Weather Service in Pretoria on Thursday.This was the result of a weak El Nino weather system that has hit the country, meteorologist Lucky Ntsangwane told reporters.He advised farmers to take precautions as rainfall patterns were unlikely to improve. Some municipalities may have to adapt their water management systems as dams were unlikely to be replenished.There was a 70% probability of the El Nino system prevailing throughout summer into early next year, Ntsangwane said.The central and western parts of the country were likely to be the hardest hit...

Build Confidence First and Learn the Mating...
Too often, men put "techniques" ahead of building confidence, which results in techniques chosen to preserve the ego rather than a technique chosen because it ensures a greater chance of success. For example, in some cases it is better to get a woman's email because you can tell she won't be very reachable on the phone. So if I personally make a decision like that, it is based on good strategy, whereas some other guys will opt for the email route because they are scared of calling.Another example of good strategy is waiting to approach a woman until she appears most receptive. Shy men would use the she-isn't-receptive clause to avoid approaching altogether, as an excuse. Experienced, confident...
Good wildlife camera equipment on safari can make the difference between pictures you will be proud to show your friends and family when you get back and ones where it's difficult to figure out exactly what you were photographing because it's only a fuzzy black dot surrounded by green vegetation.I take wildlife photographs for a living and I have had to quickly figure out what the best cameras and lenses are to get the job done effectively.Digital or Film - Which is better for a safari?Wild animals are very unpredictable. That's one aspect of safari photography that makes it so exciting because you never know what you are going to get but this also means that the number of pictures you need to take...
Artists Books in South Africa
An artists book is a limited edition book that is produced by an artist or by a collective and that has aspects of handmade work in it. The artists book has an edition number and is signed by the artist/s who have worked on the book as well as by the writer of the text if this is relevant. The artists book may be in the form of hand printed lithographs, lino cuts, letterpress or even hand written. They are often made using an unconventional format and unusual binding. There are not that many artists in South Africa who make artists books (it is a time consuming process and is something that the general public are not really aware of).Artists books allow artists to combine...
How About a Jungle Mural to Put Some Swing Into...
If your child loves all different types of animals, a jungle mural is a great way to make their room a fun and enjoyable place. You might be thinking how you will be able to achieve such a task, especially if you do not have artistic talents.The truth is, however, that this type of mural is rather easy to construct as long as you have the tools to do it.The easiest way to create a jungle mural is to transfer a desired jungle scene, animal or image to transparency film, and then use an overhead projector to display the image on the wall, which you can then trace out and begin painting.You will find that transparency film can be purchased from any store that sells computer accessories, business or...
Virus and Spyware Tools for Microsoft Windows
I was recently cleaning a system that was infested with viruses and spyware/malware, so I thought I'd write about the programs and methods I use when cleaning a system.First and foremost, the easiest way to clean your system is to backup all your data and simply format and install a fresh copy of Windows on your system. However, some people don't want to go through this amount of work.Regardless if you are trying to clean the system, or are installing a fresh version of the OS, I highly recommend the first thing you do is to install all the latest Windows updates. The easiest way to get to the Windows Updates homepage is to open Internet Explore ( The Web Browser), go to tools, and then click where...

Namibia is a largely arid country of stark rough-hewn beauty. The most vivid images are those of a haunting technicolor landscape of swirling orange dunes, shimmering mirages and treacherous dust devils. The apparent desolation is deceptive and plant and animal life and even man has adapted to this environment. The country is designed almost specially with the active and adventure seeker in mind. Timeless deserts, thorn bush savanna, desolate wind ravaged coastlines, majestic canyons, and sun-baked saltpans are the bounty that awaits the traveler.Namibia’s top draw is the Etosha National Park, rated as one of Africa’s finest game sanctuaries.

Throwing an animal theme party can be great fun. You might want to narrow down your animal theme to something smaller. From farm animals, zoo animals etc. this will give you a smaller group to work with. Fpr something smaller to work with go with just one animal group.For any animal theme you have a lot of room to do whatever you want.

Make sure you get them ready a good month before the party, that way you can send them out two to three weeks before your party.From there you can start getting the items for your animal theme. For each different animal theme you'll need different items. For a farm animal...
It Ain't Easy Being Brave
A zoo attendant entered a lion cage carrying only a broom. He casually swept with no concern for the wild animal. He even poked the big cat with his broom. The lion hissed at him and moved to another corner of the enclosure. An onlooker remarked "You certainly are brave." The sweeping man chuckled and said, "I ain't brave, that old cat ain't got no teeth."In situations where there's not much danger, bravery comes easily. However, most of us face some very scary stuff. Having a sick child or losing your home, your income, your health, or your spouse can be terrifying. In circumstances like these, we can feel alone and vulnerable.Children who feel that way curl up with a soft blanket or a cuddly...
I Just Want To Go On An African Safari!
It's amazing how a person's adventurous spirit gets a wake up call by simply watching a Tarzan re-run."Hey," I thought. "I'm due for a holiday. I've always wanted to visit Africa.

Black printmakers have a long history in the South African art world. Many of South Africa's top Black artists, both past and present are also printmakers. Black printmakers who are established artists are survivors of the dysfunctional society that existed during the apartheid era and are a constant source of inspiration to a younger generation of Black printmakers.There are a few Black printmakers who worked almost exclusively in print. Among these are the late John Muafangejo (a Namibian artist), Dan Rakgoathe and Cyprian Shilakoe. All three artists played a valuable role in establishing a sound base for future generations of black printmakers to work on and their work is...
Life Lessons Learned While Watching M*A*S*H

A Warning For America From South Africa
January 2005A Warning For America From South Africa By Gemma Meyer (Gemma Meyer is the pseudonym of a South African journalist. She and her husband, a former conservative member of parliament, still reside in South Africa.)People used to say that South Africa was 20 years behind the rest of the Western world. Television, for example, came late to South Africa (but so did pornography and the gay rights movement).Today, however, South Africa may be the grim model of the future Western world, for events in America reveal trends chillingly similar to those that destroyed our country.America's structures are Western. Your Congress, your lobbying groups, your free speech, and the way ordinary Americans...

A picture might say a 1,000 words, but those words are pretty important on their own! What I am trying to say is, pictures are not the only things that hold a memory or tell the story.On your vacation trips - look out for things that will make you remember WHERE you were and WHY!!! In my Vacation Album scrapbook I used "road" sticker strips. Looks just like a road and I put a little stretch on each page. This continues on each page and just offers "continuation" from page to page in your album.I used the map of the area I went. This is especially good for places like National Parks or a specific location. I did a scrapbook layout from California to Texas - and used the map highlighting the trip on...
The Lesser Known National Parks of Tanzania
There is more to Tanzania National Parks than Kilimanjaro, Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti. Tanzania is blessed with many National Parks that are remote, have a high density of animals and offer a taste of Africa that is rarely offered by most other safari destinations. These National Parks offer exceptional safaris and they are not just off the beaten track but well and truly in the wilds of Africa. These parks are home huge herds of animals; predators; innumerable birds and best of all few tourists. Some parks boasting one million hectares with one lodge and a handful of guests.First of all I must mention two parks very briefly; these parks are well known but underrated and largely ignored...
Mars - Planets Taste Better With Chocolate
Mars was first noticed by the Babylonians, around 400 BC, but they called it Nergal. The Egyptians saw the planet, but weren't impressed and they named it Har Decher, which means The Red One. The Romans called the planet Mars, naming it after the god of war. In 1609, Galileo was the first to see Mars through a telescope. The first map of Mars was drawn in 1659. Christiaan Huygens, in the late 1600s, was the first person to consider life on Mars.The American probe, Mariner 4, made the first successful flyby of Mars, in 1965. The first time any thing landed on Mars was in 1971; these were two Soviet probes, but they lost contact almost as soon as they landed. Then NASA, in 1975, sent two...

How to Feed Your Dog Healthy Food
When my last dog Jack died from lymphoma, I got really angry. I found out that I had been feeding him poison by giving him cheap commercial dog food. I was even further disturbed to learn that the "protein" content in cheap commercial dog food is often made up of road kill and pound puppies!I determined from the day I brought Smash home that no matter what, as long as he lived with me, I would do my best to feed him only healthy food.I learned about what wild dogs eat and what balanced nutrition means to a dog. I have studied nutrition in humans for a long time and my mom writes so I had plenty of background to draw from in establishing a healthy diet for my dog.Because wild dogs eat the whole...

Kenya- Still at the Heart of the African Safari...
The popular image of safari, especially in the west, is inseparable from Kenya. Earlier in the last century, gifted writers such as Ernest Hemingway and Karen Blixen brought to life the vivid images and uplifting life experience that constitutes a Kenyan safari. It is at this time that leading celebrities of the day such as Teddy Roosevelt and Prince Edward traveled to Kenya on safari. And so the safari gained a certain snob appeal. The famous went because it was expected of them. And those on the make because the safari was part of the certification they needed on the way up. If you want to take a peek into the mood and character of the players at that time, read Hemingway’s intriguing short...
Can you find a pattern in this sequence? Or is it two patterns running together as one? Or is it a multiple set of patterns, which is simple in nature and moves to the more complex as the equation moves forward? Hard to say, but let us explore this number shall we?Lets create a pattern rather than trying to find one and here is the sequence I came up with which carries this set of numbers out a ways. Here it is;4 8 15 16 23 42, 32, 39, 65, 139, 64, 71, 104, 204, 443, 128, 135, 175This was accomplished by drawing a pyramid [linear] on a piece of paper, then drawing five lines parallel to the base. Where each line touched a side I drew a downward perpendicular line to them. This created a grid inside...

Top Ten Tanzania National Parks
There is not enough room here to put a fully comprehensive list of information about each and every National Park in Tanzania; these descriptions of only ten of our National Parks serves to give a cross-section of what is on offer.1. Katavi National Park: In 2001 the Serengeti had 100,000 visitors; in contrast the Katavi National Park in the remote and almost inaccessible west of Tanzania had only 83 visitors. The only other people you are likely to meet in this park are other guests and the staff at the one [tented] lodge in the one million hectares of this park...
Primates are a category of mammals that include humans, apes, lemurs and monkeys. Covering over 185 species, they range from lemurs -with hardly any resemblance to humans- to chimpanzees, which are clearly our own kin. In size, they range from the tiny 60 g bush baby to the huge 200 kg gorilla. Primates are characterized by a complex brain, good binocular vision and means of grasping. In addition, they experience long periods in the womb, followed by slow maturation and elongated lifespan.Africa has the privilege of hosting 51 primate species in habitats varying from forests to savannah woodlands. And new primate species are still being discovered. One of the latest additions is the highland...

Let Your Children Help You Prepare for the Big...
INTRODUCTION AND INTUITIONAre you and your children moving house soon ? If you're moving to a new town or a new region, it can be rough on your children as they may feel uprooted and disoriented. Your children lose the comfort and security of the world they know - from their private spaces to their more public places: their bedroom, their house, their yard, their neighborhood, their school, their local park, their town and so forth. Worst of all, they lose regular contact with their friends and, possibly, aunts, uncles and cousins in the bargain. In addition, they suddenly find themselves the "new kids in town," trying to find their niche in a new community.This article offers...
