Magical Kenya Grand Tours and Safaris
No Hollywood movie could ever match the real thing. In the theater of my mind, the most vivid image I have of the legendary Masai Mara, was standing like a sentinel, gazing out over the endless grasslands, while our 4wd ambled slowly along the trail. Spotting many varieties of wildlife and birds was quite a challenge. One could easily notice the larger and taller creatures milling about - giraffes, buffalo and elephants. But from our vantage point to the far horizon, I could just imagine how many thousand other creatures were hidden from human view. These denizens of the Masai Mara could leap and bound out of the tall grass at any moment -- wild boars, hyenas, graceful gazelles, a flock of guinea hens - you name it. Lions and cheetahs are prevalent, plus zebra, wildebeest, water-bucks, eland and topic. CONTINUED

RAILWAYS CONCESSION GOES TO SOUTH AFRICA
The long search for a concessionaire to run the railway systems in Uganda and Kenya is now over, with a South African led consortium beating India Railways, Magadi Soda and Maersk into second place. The concession will earn the two governments 1 Million Dollars per annum in fixed fees and an 11.1 percent revenue component over the next 25 years. It is understood that this is nearly twice as good an offer as their remaining competitor had put into the bid papers. Take over date is set for 01st April 2006. The two countries expect substantial investment in coming years into a rail track upgrade, rehabilitation of rolling stock and operational improvements to make railway traffic once again a feasible alternative to road transport. The new operator name will be 'Rift Valley Railways

MOMBASA PORT INTRODUCES NEW MASTERPLAN. A high powered delegation led by the KPA chairman Gen. (rtd) Joe Kibwana and the KPA CEO Mr. Brown Ondego recently met the Uganda business community at the Sheraton Kampala Hotel to introduce the new master plan layout for the development of East Africa's most important sea harbour.
