Does the launch of Africa’s first low-cost airline promise to open Africa's skies and cut costs for tourists who can only access Africa by purchasing expensive air tickets?Timeline PhotosDoes the launch of Africa’s first low-cost airline promise to open Africa's skies and cut costs for tourists who can only access Africa by purchasing expensive air tickets? Fastjet, part-owned by easyJet founder Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou, will operate its first scheduled flight in Tanzania this week and plans to expand first across East Africa and then to Ghana and Angola. Tourists could soon combine safaris in Kenya with gorilla treks in Uganda and end the holiday on the beach in Zanzibar without excessive flight costs. “African economies are among the fastest growing in the world, and a lot of that growth is happening in the middle classes,” said Ed Winter, fastjet’s CEO and former chief operating officer of both Go and easyJet. “But they have simply not been properly served with options to fly to business meetings, to fly home to see their relatives at Christmas, to take their families on holidays. We are here to fill that gap.” Fastjet has three 156-seat Airbus A319s at its first hub in Dar es Salaam, initially serving Kilimanjaro and Mwanza, a major Tanzanian city on Lake Victoria. Before the end of the year, Mr Winter plans to start the first international flight, to Entebbe in Uganda, and then to Nairobi, Kenya, by Easter, where the airline's second hub will be based. Twelve more leased A319s will be delivered by the end of 2013, he said. “There will of course be benefits not just to East Africans, but to tourists as well,” he said. Flights already connect to Kilimanjaro, for visitors attempting to reach the summit Africa’s highest mountain. Future destinations include the Indian Ocean resorts of Mombasa and Zanzibar, and Entebbe and Kigali, which would give tourists cheaper access to treks to see mountain gorillas. “We know that improved air services are critical to opening up our economy to development, and we can be sure that infrastructure will be improved,” Charles Tizeba, Tanzania’s deputy transport minister, said at the fastjet launch in Dar es Salaam. www.fastjet.com

14 Nov 2012, 06:52 a.m.
Well, well, the wildebeest have now finally all left the Mara until next year July. Remember, now the wildebeest have left there are still PLENTY of the other animals to be seen in the Maasai Mara. Now is the time the hippos have to cautious as the Lions love hippo! Leopards are always here and the Cheetah still runs free on the plains. With less people here, now is the time to really enjoy the Mara almost alone.

YES YES YES, the wildebeest are still around, however they are starting to move slowly towards the border. Think this will still be a week or two before they are well on their way back to lower Serengeti National Park.
29 Oct 2012, 07:36 a.m.
HUGE RAINS over the weekend. A car wash washed off the road lucky no one was hurt. Be careful and do not try and cross any fast rivers, there are crocs in the rivers!!!!! GOOD NEWS: The wildebeest are still around!!!

UPDATE: Just heard there are more wildebeest coming on to the Burrangat Plains. They are moving north!!!
30 Jul 2012, 04:45 a.m.
Burning in the triangle is happening. Lots of smoke, but we hope that ends soon.
30 Jul 2012, 04:40 a.m.
Lots of wildebeest around LOOKOUT HILL with crossings into the Mara Triangle area. Lions are happy the time of plenty has finally arrived for some. The prides in the northern areas will have to wait a little while longer. Enjoy!
27 Jul 2012, 13:19 p.m.

Z = Zebra W= Wildebeest
24 Jul 2012, 11:46 a.m.
UPDATE: 1,000's of wildebeest are currently crossing the Sand River as we speak! In between Sala's Camp and the South Bridge on the Mara River. Seen Cheetah with 4 cubs on a kill, cubs are looking very healthy and strong. Rhino was seen just in Tz but on the Northern side of the Sand River. All in all a GREAT day in the southern sector of the Maasai Mara.

QUESTION: Why do the BIG CATS have ROUND pupils rather than the SLIT pupils of the smaller cats?
22 Jul 2012, 06:02 a.m.
Seen lots of Zebra up towards Sekenani Gate, Wildebeest are still coming in around the Sand River area.
17 Jul 2012, 03:35 a.m.
ZEBRA & WILDEBEEST are HERE at last. There are a lot of zebra coming over the border towards Sand River Gate. Good news as that means the Wildebeest are just a couple of days behind them. Post here if you have more news! If you are looking for a place on the Sand River to stay?

Going "Green" is the way forward in the Mara Bio-gas Project at Olonana CampYesterday, we visited Olonana camp for the responsible guiding award ceremony and we were given a tour of their bio-gas project. The staff kitchen is entirely dependent on methane gas produced from the bio-gast tank system. Even the ceiling lighting system in the kitchen! They are now moving towards storing the gas into a balloon, then the next step will be to change the main kitchen stove into bio-gas stove. If you supply the methane gas directly to the air intake of the diesel generator, it will reduce the diesel intake by 30%. Olonana manager explained to us that their goal is to supply their diesel generator machine with the bio-gas in the near future. Besides from the bio-gas project, Olonana treats their sewage through their wetland system before it goes back to the ground. It is great to see the development of these eco-friendly projects to run the daily lodge operation.

The Mara is hot hot hot, lovely days out and about in the bush. Long grass makes the game viewing a bit harder, you just got to work for a bit harder! BUT the animals are still there, just easier hiding. They need their space too.
27 Jan 2012, 11:08 a.m.
I know this has nothing to do with the Mara, BUT it is doing something for conservation. This is the first time the mountain bike race will take place around Amboseli. Hope to see some of you there!!! Keep up the New Years resolution and keep FIT.
