UWA GETS READY FOR TWO NEW GORILLA GROUPS
Efforts over the past years are nearing conclusion, as two additional habituated gorilla groups are to be added for tourism purposes at Bwindi National Park over the next few weeks. This will bring the number of available gorilla tracking permits at Bwindi to a maximum of 48 a day, provided all groups are available for visits and one or another are not being rested on advice of the Uganda Wildlife Authority veterinary services. Each permit presently attracts a fee from foreign non-resident visitors of US$500, while locals understandably pay a more affordable figure.

In an apparent cloak and dagger action, shrouded by secrecy and leaks, the Kenyan government appears to have sold the prestigious Grand Regency Hotel for a pittance of less than 3 billion Kenya shillings (approximately US$45.6 million) to the Libyan government under a private sale agreement. Figures available right now vary between 2 billion and 2.9 billion Kenya shillings.
It has also became evident that no public bidding or tendering was chosen by the promoters – or should one say perpetrators – of the deal to maximize the proceeds of the sale, as a number of international hotel chains had of late expressed interest in coming to Kenya and may have wanted to make offers for the Grand Regency themselves.
