COMMUNITY APPROACH; A CONSERVATION STRATEGY IN VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK – RWANDA SAFARI NEWS


volcanoes-national-park in rwandaThere are a range of conservation strategies ranging from ecological, economical to cultural approach. All these have been exercised in different protected areas and have had both positive and negative implications. But of recent, the cultural approach has proved to be more effective and sustainable. Volcanoes National Park also referred to as Parc Nationale des Volcanoes in French is one of Rwanda’s prime safari destinations usually encountered on Rwanda safari. Volcanoes is an enjoinment of the Virunga protected area and thus a home of mountain gorillas which makes it famous for gorilla trekking in Rwanda. It provides a strong core and acts as a selling preposition for wildlife safaris or chimpanzee trekking safaris in the adjacent Akagera and far most Nyungwe national parks respectively. This makes it to be added on the list of travellers while planning their safaris to Rwanda. Volcanoes National Park is quick to realize the strength of this new management approach. It has recruited the former poachers and trained them to take up positions in the thriving eco-tourism trade. This is to be achieved by allocating a portion of the tourist fees paid for gorilla trekking to community projects so as to assist the former poachers identify alternative sources of livelihood that are in good terms with the environment. This will in turn ensure species survival thus sustaining safaris in Rwanda or position its self in the market as a marketing technique only to end up increasing safaris to Rwanda.

UGANDA WILDLIFE AUTHORITY ON A MOVE TO BOOST DOMESTIC TOURISM THROUGH NEW PACKAGES – UGANDA SAFARI NEWS:

uganda gorilla safarisA range of innovations have been recorded by the Uganda Wildlife Authority all focusing on boosting domestic safaris in Uganda. The results for this initiative have been positive thus increase in the number of travelers embracing tourism hot spots. Referring to the records at Uganda safari destinations of Queen Elizabeth, L. Mburo and Semuliki National parks, the counts of domestic Uganda safari undertakers has exceeded that of foreign travellers affirming that this trend could definitely paint a new picture of tourism in the country. With the issue of financial crisis hitting the west, the tourism proprietors in the receiving areas have always thought that foreign safaris to Uganda would reduce at the end of the day.
The Uganda Wild life Authority packages designed to increase domestic safaris in Uganda  include; budget accommodation packages, computerized access to the parks and night game drives. These packages have in turn increased domestic Uganda safaris for example; Queen Elizabeth has registered 20% increase in domestic visitors as well as Mburo at 25% and Semuliki at 50%.
The emergence of budget restaurants in national parks like Tembo restaurant in Queen Elizabeth has made meal affordable to the local people. While the development of low budget accommodation has stood as pocket friendly offer for domestic Uganda safari undertakers for example changing of former UWA headquarters at Mweya to accommodation center making it cheaper for locals compared to spending a night at Mweya safari lodge.
The introduction of night game drives in Lake Mburo National Park exposing a range of elands, buffaloes, hippos, Impala, Zebra and Waterbucks have become a flagship package for local people wishing to undertake wildlife safaris. Also establishing low cost accommodation and restaurant on the shores of Lake Mburo is by no means an ordinary incentive to domestic Uganda safari undertakers. This move is anticipated to increase domestic wildlife safaris or it might be stretched to also encourage gorilla trekking safaris in Uganda.
