| Dear ATCNews readers,
Greetings from us all at Gamewatchers Safaris & Porini Camps! |
| Here in Kenya the rainy season has come to an end and life is returning to the plains. Animals great and small are emerging to enjoy the fresh vegetation and lush green landscape.
Guests at our Porini Safari Camps have been enjoying some thrilling wildlife scenes, and we thought you’d enjoy seeing some of the wonderful images that have been captured on the first game drives of this season, such as these images taken by our regular guest Kathi Hammer. |

An Adventure in Uganda If you thought Gamewatchers Safaris only organised safari tours in Kenya, think again! We can arrange safaris right across Africa and last month our UK-based Safari Consultant (and keen photographer), Wayne Hammond, continued his recent travels through East Africa – this time spending 11 days in Uganda. Wayne has written about his experience which took him from Entebbe, to the Queen Elizabeth National Park and deep into the Bwindi Forest, with journeys by air, by road, by boat and on foot. |
|
| En route he observed a vast range of wildlife including Mountain Gorillas, chimpanzees and other primates, various birds, elephants and even tree-climbing lions.
You can access his blog (and view his other images) on our web site: |

Don’t miss BBC’s "Serengeti" Have you been watching "Serengeti", the latest natural world series from the BBC? Expertly-filmed, it is following the high drama of the varied wildlife in this part of East Africa. Those of you in the UK or with access to BBC IPlayer can catch up now, and the series will be launching in the USA on the Discovery Channel early next month. For anyone who has already been on safari in East Africa, this TV series will rekindle memories of the sights and scenes of the African bush. And for those already booked and about to travel soon, it is sure to whet the appetite for a safari to observe the animals in their natural environment. Our wide range of safaris offer some great choices for our customers, such as our Tanzania Highlights Safari – a great-value tour to the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Tarangire National Park.
