Although they were sometimes known in past for poaching wildlife, the Batwa community of Bwindi Forest proved in July that they have transitioned into genuine conservation partners.
As per the June-July newsletter, Adventure Consults is excited to report the slow opening of Rwanda’s tourism after a nearly four-month hiatus caused by the global Covid-19 pandemic.
The global COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown measures led to the closure of all protected areas in Uganda. At the end of June, savannah parks were reopened for domestic tourism, but primate parks remained closed. While it’s still not clear if wild animals can contract COVID-19, mountain gorillas and chimpanzees are known to be susceptible to infection with human respiratory pathogens.
It’s the time of year when most of us would already be on the move or about to set off on an unforgettable adventure. When everyone is traveling, venturing beyond their comfort zone, meeting new people, making new friends, or relishing wildlife and golden sunsets! Unfortunately, the world has been forced to press the pause button.
