What
attracted you to Rwanda?
I
was attracted to what I
was hearing and reading
about the rebirth of
Rwanda. It is
amazing to see a
nation that has been
through so much; that it
has
reconciled, rebuilt,and reinvented
itself in such a
short period of time. I
wanted to be part of
such a positive and
promising
transition.

"To
Timbuktu for a
Haircut"
One
finds the time to do the
things that are
important to them - and
both travel and writing
are important to me. The
trip itself came about
when I planned a month
away, on my own, without
my wife along. One
evening she said, "Why
don't you just go to
Timbuktu...?" I thought
that was a brilliant
suggestion! Long ago, I
spent many years as a
periodic travel writer,
and before being at
Tourism Vancouver my
career included an
active role with a book
publishing
company.

When
Jack London wrote
"Call of the

the lure that grips us
each year when spring is
in the air. In other
words, there is
absolutely no way, we
would miss an ATA
Congress in Africa - as
history, the pharaohs
and good friends from
past occasions beckoned.
This was the 14th ATA
Annual Congress we have
attended since Africa
Travel Magazine was
launched in 1995. As in
most of the ATA
Congresses and Symposia
in Africa, our complete
editorial team of Jerry

and Muguette Goufrani,

adding a hidden agenda

Chobe
Safari Lodge Open
Soon
Marasa
Holdings, the owning and
managing company for
Paraa and Mweya safari
lodges, has now put
adverts into the local
dailies aiming to
recruit a full
complement of staff for
their soon to open Chobe
Safari Lodge. This
indicates that the
opening of the
reconstructed lodge is
now only months away,
and in fact much awaited
by the country's tourism
sector to allow the more
regular use of the upper
part of Murchisons Falls
National Park above the
water falls, where
mostly a forest
environment awaits
visitors keen to see
birds and forest
animals, including
elephant. Chobe, as
previously reported, was
in the 'old' days a
favourite fishing lodge
for visitors from all
over Eastern Africa and
further abroad, and when
re-opened is also
thought to offer regular
fishing competitions for
those keen to measure up
against the fish in the
river. Watch this space
for announcements on
opening dates in the
near
future.
