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.

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

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. The tourism sector in
particular was keen to learn about the new
passenger terminal facilities, KPA proposes to put
up, in order to attract more cruise line calls.
Cruise tourism is high value business and the
establishment of an Indian Ocean / East and South
Africa cruise circuit is now high on the agenda of
the tourism sectors in East Africa
