☆ Lion attacks: How to stay safe on safaris in Africa
  + stars: | 2024-01-25 | by ( Forrest Brown | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +17 min
It was July of 2022, and the co-founder of Discover Africa Safaris was out in the bush near the Khwai River in northern Botswana. African lions are fully capable of attacking, killing and even eating humans, and it’s generally estimated about 250 people a year die in lion attacks. WLDavies/E+/Getty ImagesOnly about 23,000 lions remain in sub-Saharan Africa, found mostly in Eastern and Southern Africa, Muruthi said. Before your trip, It's important to study up on safety tips -- such as remaining inside your safari vehicle when lions and other wild animals approach. Secondly, fleeing indicates to the lion you’re frightened and now possible prey, turning what might have initially been a mock charge to test you into a real attack.

  + stars: | 2023-10-25 | by ( Harriet Akinyi | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +8 min
KenyaFor more than 25 years, professional safari guide Geoff Mayes has taken tourists to the best parks in Africa. Amboseli National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is known for its massive elephant population and spectacular views of Mount Kilimanjaro. In those three, one can track mountain gorillas in Mgahinga National Park and Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Another park to consider is the Kidepo Valley National Park, with its sweeping plains and valleys overshadowed by the brooding Mount Morungole. ZimbabweApart from the renowned Hwange National Park, I have also visited Matobo National Park, which has a wide diversity of fauna and plenty of white rhinos.

☆ China has poured billions into Africa’s infrastructure. Is it now tightening the tap?
  + stars: | 2023-09-26 | by ( Simone Mccarthy | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +11 min
The impact of those funds is felt across Africa, where residents in major cities like Lagos, Nairobi and Addis Ababa now transit daily via railways, highways and airports built in recent years with Chinese loans and often by Chinese construction firms. But understanding how much money is flowing out of China into global development is notoriously tricky as Beijing doesn’t share this data openly and a wide range of financial entities play roles. How all this plays out could have a significant impact on developing countries’ access to much-needed infrastructure funding. China is also navigating the second decade of the Belt and Road amid stark economic challenges at home. China in 2017 released guidance on promoting a “green” Belt and Road, which called for sustainable development and strengthening environmental protection.

Ian Agrimis is the founder of photography and video company Capture Unlimited. He has to remain unnoticed and does activities like cliff jumping before clients do to get the shot. He was there for two years, he told Insider, before he and his entire team were laid off. He keeps a tight team on-site, he said, often pairing up with a photographer while he focuses on video. When someone does occasionally ask for a still or a shorter video, he added, it will only be posted on a private Instagram account.
