It will cross Northern Kenya on 3 October 2005 where it engulfs much of Lake Turkana at 11:10 UT. The eclipse of the Sun is the most extravagant experience in all of Nature! Not many people have ever witnessed one, but once observed it is an experience never to be forgotten. The Moon's dark shadow throws you into a ghostly nightfall and the Sun creates an incredibly beautiful diamond ring effect. An annular eclipse differs from a total eclipse in that the Moon appears too small to completely cover the Sun. As a result, the Moon is surrounded by an intensely brilliant ring or annulus formed by the uneclipsed outer perimeter of the Sun's disk. You cannot afford to miss this spectacular moment on a safari to remember for the rest of your life. The Eclipsafari will leave Nairobi on the 30 th of September 2005 to arrive on time to watch the eclipse on the edge of the Chalbi Desert.

Maasai rangers ensure that animal behavior patterns are not disrupted by tourists; administrators are working with local Maasai to implement revenue-sharing development projects.

Extractions: Contact Us Culture C ulture is taken to be the sum of all learnt human behaviour. This in essence, means that culture encompasses all the non-genetic characteristics expressed by humans. That being the case, culture, then, can only be transmitted through the process of socialization, or social education, from generation to generation. The allure of discovering new forms of behaviour is the motivation behind the desire to travel. Once we discover alien cultural traits in terms of beliefs, rules of conduct and norms, even taboos and superstitions, our preconceived ideas are gradually supplanted and replaced with knowledge and appreciation. The human propensity to discriminate against others is more often than not a function of ignorant arrogance. We usually place ourselves on a pedestal of high, nay pure cultural and moral standing. We place our culture a notch higher than others. This is the basis of ethnocentrism, itself a concept founded in the fertility of ignorance. That means we debase that which we do not know since we have not come into contact with it. Apart from the norms and beliefs, as it were the materials cultures of other people are an important element of tourism. How do they dress, conduct business, how do they produce and process food and what makes up their diet? How do they bury their dead?

Extractions: Population : 4 million (most in Ethiopia, about 90,000 in Kenya) NARRATIVE PROFILE Location : The Borana are part of a very much larger group of about 4 to 5 million persons of whom approximately 90,000 live in north central Kenya with the balance in Ethiopia. They are related to the Oromo in Somalia also. They live in a large area of barren northern Kenya. About 44% of the Kenya Borana live in Marsabit District, into Tana River District, Garissa District and in Moyale District. The heaviest concentration live in the Sololo area of Marsabit District and in Moyale District. Those in Isiolo District are concentrated in Merti and Garba Tula. History: The Borana are one of the resulting groups of Oromo migrants who left the southern highlands of Ethiopia in the 1500's. Most of the Borana and related peoples live in Ethiopia. The Oromo had migrated east but were pushed back by the Somali leading to a greater southern expansion. There are almost 4 million Borana people, most living in Ethiopia. Identity: The word spelled Borana is pronounced with the final vowel silent. For this reason in many English sources the word is spelled
