Lion(Panthera leo) one of Africa's "Big Five". They are the apex predator in the African ecosystem.
Lions are social cats that live in prides of 5-15. Lionesses live with the pride for life while males leave the pride of birth at 2 or 4 years. Lions sleep during the day and hunt at night for prey like buffalo, antelopes, warthogs, zebras and giraffes.
Gestation:110 days(up to 4 cubs)
Lifespan: 12-16 years in the wild, 25 years in captivity.
The lions in Uganda's Queen Elizabeth National Park are unique in that they climb trees. Yes they do. For a chance you see these beautiful cats in the wild, book your next safari to Uganda with us(https://www.virungaadventuretours.com).

An elephant trunk is a fusion of the nose and upper lip. It is among the most sensitive organs found in any mammal. The trunk has around 150,000 muscle units performing several functions like breathing, smelling, touching, grasping, sucking water and making trumpet sounds. The trunk is so strong that elephants use it to push down trees and lift heavy objects.
How interesting!!!!

Good news for Uganda's tourism sector and the economy at large.
The revival of the national flag carrier is on track after the successful test flight of the 1st of four Bombardier jets in Canada where they are being manufactured.
The airline will fly to regional airports in Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, S Sudan and with time fly to Europe, Asia and North America.
Despite having major attractions and vast tourism potentials, Uganda cannot fully tap the tourism market without operating a national flag carrier.
Air transport facilitates integration into the global economy by generating trade, promoting tourism and creating employment opportunities.

CRJ 900 Specs
CRJ Bombardier(Canadair Regional Jet)
Role: Regional Jet
Cockpit crew: 2
Cabin crew: 2-3

TOURISM MULTIPLIER EFFECT!!!!!!!
This is how many times the money spent by a tourist circulates through a country's economy.
Tourism as an industry not only creates jobs in the tertiary sector, it also encourages growth in the primary and secondary sectors of the industry.
For example, money spent in a hotel, restaurant, national park and tour company helps create jobs directly and also creates jobs indirectly else where in the economy.
The hotel for example has to buy food from local farmers, who spend their income on basic needs for their families such as shelter,clothing and education.
The demand for local products also increases as tourists often buy souvenirs( secondary employment).
The tourism multiplier effect brings prosperity to an economy through employment, increased spending, diversification, infrastructure development, social and environmental advantages.

TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE TONIGHT!!!!!!
IN A BLUE MOON
Today 27 July 2018 is a special a day for astromas and you cannot afford to miss events that happen once in a blue moon.
A total lunar eclipse is occuring tonight begining at 20:21:44 hrs( 8:21pm) and maximum at 23:21hrs(11:21pm) . It is going to be the longest in the 21st Century lasting approximately 103 minutes.
A total lunar eclipse can only occur at full moon when the Sun, Earth and Moon in that order are perfectly aligned and the Earth blocks the sun light normally reflected by the moon. Take note: Some sunlight is bent through Earth's atmosphere giving the moon a REDDISH-BROWN colour.
The lunar eclipse will be completely visible over Eastern Africa, and Central Asia, seen rising over South America, and Western Africa, and Europe, and setting over Eastern Asia, and Australia. (Source: Wikipedia)
Do not be caught off guard now that Virunga Adventure Tours has informed you. Live the moment!!!
Unlike the solar eclipse, no need for shades to protect your eyes while watching the Lunar eclipse.
