Gorilla Trekking in Rwanda: A Wonder-Filled Adventure

0

Gorilla trekking in Rwanda is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that promises to be a wonder-filled experience for nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers. Trekking through Rwanda’s beautiful woods to see endangered mountain gorillas is an extraordinary experience. Over half of the world’s mountain gorillas live in the Virunga Mountains, which span 50 kilometres along Rwanda, Uganda, and the Congo. Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park is the greatest site to observe these uncommon species, and getting there is an experience. So pack your bags and complete your Kenya Airways Booking to enjoy this unforgettable experience.

Gorilla Trekking Best Time To Visit

Gorilla trekking in Rwanda is greatest in the dry season, June–September and December–February. The paths are drier and gorillas are easier to see in lower altitudes during these months. Gorilla trekking is possible year-round, and the rainy season offers a unique experience.

Permit Needs

Rwanda Development Board permits are required for gorilla trekking. Foreign tourists need a $1500 permit and must be 15 years old. Rwanda limits visitors to 96 each day since there are only 10 gorilla families. Permits sell out rapidly, so book early.

Physical Fitness Factors

Rwanda gorilla hiking demands average fitness. Up to six hours and 10 kilometres of hiking through the deep forest are required. Steep hills, muddy pathways, and heavy foliage make the terrain difficult. Visitors should wear comfortable hiking shoes, long trousers, and long-sleeved shirts to avoid stinging nettles and other plants.

Planning Your Gorilla Trek

  • Choose a Tour Operator: Choose a reliable tour company for your Rwanda gorilla trek. Look for firms with competent gorillas and area guides. Check the company’s safety record and customer feedback. Volcanoes Safaris, African Wildlife Safaris, and Gorilla Trek Africa are famous Rwandan trip providers.
  • What to Bring?: Pack light for a gorilla trip, bringing just the basics. You need comfy hiking shoes, long trousers, and long-sleeved shirts. We suggest bringing a rain jacket, sunscreen, bug repellant, and a hat. Also needed: a backpack for water, food, and a camera. If you’re sick, postpone your walk since gorillas are sensitive to human ailments.
  • Health and Safety Tips: Gorilla hiking is strenuous, therefore be fit. Keep with the group and follow your guide’s directions. Visitors must stay at least 7 metres away from gorillas and not touch them to protect them. Visitors cannot eat or drink near gorillas. Follow these recommendations to protect tourists and gorillas.

The Trekking Experience

  • Encountering the Gorillas

Trekking with Rwanda gorillas is a thrilling opportunity to get up close and personal with one of the most endangered animals on Earth. Hikers at Volcanoes National Park get a chance to see gorillas in their native habitat as they forage through the dense forests. 

Even though gorillas are used to humans, it’s still important for visitors to keep their distance and follow certain regulations to ensure everyone’s safety. Keep at least 7 metres away from gorillas, and don’t make eye contact or move too quickly.

  • Guides and Rangers

The trip is led by trained rangers and guides who are familiar with gorilla habits and behaviours to ensure everyone’s safety. Tourists may learn more about the gorillas and their environment from these knowledgeable guides, who are also well-versed in the local culture.

Tourists are reminded to respect the gorillas and their habitat by rangers and guides who enforce trek limitations. Also included are communication devices and emergency first-aid kits.

  • Conservation Efforts

Hiking with Rwanda gorillas is an exciting and important part of protecting these animals. The conservation initiatives and park communities are supported by the trekking permit price.

Gorillas and their habitat are less affected by humans because of the stringent regulations of the expedition. Preventing trash and environmental disruption and limiting everyday visits are part of this.

Trekking with Rwanda gorillas is an exciting way to help preserve these endangered animals.

Beyond Trekking

Gorilla trekking is Rwanda’s biggest attraction, although tourists may enjoy other activities. Some excellent things to do and see after the hike.

  • Local Attractions: Akagera and Nyungwe Forest National Parks are in Rwanda. Visitors may view elephants, lions, and chimpanzees in these parks. Lake Kivu and Rusumo Falls are among the other attractions in the nation.
  • Cultural Experiences: Rwanda’s culture offers several cultural experiences. Visitors may learn about Rwandan culture in the Iby’Iwacu Cultural Village, a popular attraction. Local markets and traditional dance performances are further cultural activities.
  • Extended Wildlife Safaris: Rwanda offers extended wildlife experiences beyond gorillas. These excursions may show tourists giraffes, zebras, and hippos. The Big Five Safari, which sees lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, and rhinos, is popular.

Besides gorilla trekking, Rwanda has many more activities. Local attractions, cultural activities, and extended wildlife safaris await visitors.

He Said What about Taylor Swift? Jo Koy’s Unlanding Jokes in the Golden Globes

Hosts have the primary responsibility of keeping the crowd engaged with the flow of the entire program, as well as interacting with each of the audience in a way they see fit. However, Jo Koy’s hosting seemed to have rubbed the audience and the entire online world the wrong way, and for a good reason.

Photo from Los Angeles Times

The comments that people were the most bothered about were misogynistic jokes about the Barbie film, which the cast responded to with crickets in the audience. Dubbed by Time as the “worst Golden Globes joke,” Jo Koy said, “Oppenheimer is based on a 721-page Pulitzer Prize-winning book about the Manhattan Project, and Barbie is on a plastic doll with big boobies … The key moment in Barbie is when she goes from perfect beauty to bad breath, cellulite, and flat feet. Or what casting directors call character actor!” The camera panned out to the crowd, including Barbie’s co-writer and director, Greta Gerwig, with a very unimpressed face.

Photo from Entertainment Weekly

For the worst, Jo Koy also made comments about the Taylor Swift, mentioning how the Golden Globes has fewer camera shots of her compared to the NFL. This is something the singer-songwriter has previously commented on in the aftermath of football fans complaining about her presence in Travis Kelce’s games, which the NFL loves to make noise about. Swift said in an interview prior to the Golden Globes that she is simply there to support Kelce, and she has no idea whether or not the screens are showing her. Jo Koy, making a joke about something she’s already uncomfortable about, was responded to by the global superstar with a blank face and a sip of her drink.

Photo from People

Jo Koy admitted to having an off night, saying he only signed to the gig 10 days before the actual event, explaining why his material wasn’t that good. “Some [jokes] I wrote, some other people wrote,” the standup comedian said after one of his lines fell flat. “Yes, I got the gig 10 days ago! You want a perfect monologue? Yo, shut up. You’re kidding me, right? Slow down, I wrote some of these, and they are the ones you are laughing at.”

Photo from ABC News

Netizens still think that as the host and as someone whose mouth those words have come out of, it’s still his responsibility to be wary of the impact of the jokes he makes about people. Discerning whether or not something is misogynistic or insensitive ought to be paramount, especially when one’s job is to keep the night in the right flow.

Cebuanos React to ‘Modern’ Sinulog Viral Dance on Tiktok

Tiktok is a site, like many others, that picks up on what’s up and coming to turn it into a trend. This is the nature of social media, a general marketing ploy that generates revenue for content creators. Now that Sinulog is fast approaching, it’s no surprise that people are catching up.

Sinulog is a widely known festival, not just to Cebuanos, but across the nation and even outside of the country, leading international celebrities to come to Cebu City to know what it’s like to celebrate it. The festival started to be a highly religious one – the buildup being celebrated through a novena in Sto. Nino Church, processions and other forms of devotion. Its religious characteristic will always be inherent to it, no matter the times. But it is also clear how the festival has evolved so much more than that, being celebrated by a lot through raves and parties, far beyond the dance competitions and the street shows with people in costumes and a festival queen that holds a Sto. Niño statuette.

With modernity extending beyond real life into the online world, a recent Sinulog Tiktok dance has become viral. With any other kind of music, the dance community of Tiktok always makes usual Tiktok dance moves with a lot of arm and hand movements and minimal footwork, easy to follow to spark a trend. The Sinulog music turns out to be no exception.

a Tiktok video snippet from Millenial Catholics on Facebook

A lot of devotees are calling out this trend, saying it is borderline blasphemous because of the sacredness of the Sinulog dance. The dance, just like a lot of religious practices even in pre-colonial Philippines, is an offering to a deity; a ritual-prayer dedicated to Sto. Niño. Netizens spoke against the trend, describing the dance moves as inappropriate and far beyond what Sinulog is all about.

Apollo Nelmida, the creator of the modern Sinulog dance, responded on Tiktok saying “Sinulog is a celebration for or dear Sto. Niño. There was a story when he was a kid and he is a very kind kid who likes to have fun so I guess there is nothing wrong about enjoying [the] [Sinulog] song (e.g. dancing and singing).”

The internet is currently in a frenzy, with devotees criticizing the new generation for always feeling the need to make everything modern, while others are defending it saying that faith and the celebration of it are subjective and personal.

With the debate still ongoing, the general population is at a divide, not arriving at a consensus regarding where to draw the line between the traditional practice of sacred rituals and its evolution.

Salaries in the PH to Increase by 6.2% in 2024

Mercer’s Total Remuneration Survey of 2023 just revealed that there is a chance that salaries in the Philippines might increase in 2024.

The salary of Filipino employees might increase by 6.2 percent. The increase is because of the demand for skilled professionals, and companies must keep those with competitive talent in the market. Moreover, inflation also plays a huge part.

According to Mercer, employees who work in the energy sector might get an increase of 7%. However, tech (6.8%), retail (6.7%), wholesale (6.7%), and consumer goods (6.5%)also projected increases.

In addition, Mercer also revealed that the Philippines surpasses the average increase of other Asian countries. India, Vietnam, and Indonesia are also projecting higher salaries in 2024.

Hidden Gem of Cebu: Dayhag Waterfalls Along the Cebu Highlands Trail in Boljoon

For the amount of water forms in the Philippines that are perfect to be explored, it’s no surprise that a lot of these have been commercialized. Beaches and waterfalls alike have been co-opted by businesses such as Kawasan Falls, Boracay, and Moalboal to accommodate a wider audience. They are also hubs of business opportunities both for big names and small to medium enterprises.

With the rise of commercialized tourist spots, I’m sure a lot of adventurous people out there are craving for something less developed just to get a feel of a journey to something natural and actually feels natural. Dayhag Waterfalls is an example of a destination that’s less developed, and if you want to explore this gem, then get familiar with it here!

Journey to Dayhag Waterfalls

Situated just beyond Cebu Highlands Trail in Upper Beceril, Dayhan Waterfall necessitates an adventure even before you get to the destination. You may ride a habal-habal to get to Dayhag, and the view that rides with you is truly something so rewarding. The entrance is marked by a simple welcoming sign, and because the place isn’t that well-known, you’ll be met with a very small crowd of people and a clean environment.

If you want to arrive at the waterfalls yourself as an adrenaline junkie, this is not to worry about with its carefully planned pathways. You may also get a local guide to help you figure out the safest routes within the tiers of the waterfalls.

The Development Story of Dayhag Falls

Because of Boljoon’s Municipal Tourism and Heritage Office and the Sangguniang Kabataan 2012’s joint passion for boosting the region’s tourism, they have made a cultural mapping initiative wherein they are to invest in the development of the resources they have. The local government decided to do so to give attention to each barangay’s cultural and historical highlights. Upper Beceril’s contribution to this is, of course, Dayhag Waterfalls.

Exploring the Tiers

With the waterfall boasting multiple tiers, you surely won’t run out of new wonders to explore and marvel at. As you progress to further tiers, the journey, height, and depth get more challenging. With the number of tiers in Dayhag Waterfalls, you’ll surely find the one that’s tailor-fit to your skills and liking.

Photo from @_maaarkoso on Instagram

Conveniently, along the area, you can find bamboo-and-nipa cottages to rest in. However, there are rules against bringing food and drinks to the tiers to avoid pollution.

Dayhag Waterfalls may not have the same kind of development and infrastructure as others, but to some, this can be a haven; a breath of fresh air that’s unlike the usual destinations marketed widely. The fact that the entire place is very simple and embraces the standalone experience of nature is a charm in and of itself. If this kind of adventure is for you, then you know where to go!

iPhone Users Can Type Using Keypads Again with Clicks Keyboard

As the tech industry continues to innovate devices in so many ways imaginable, nothing just beats nostalgia. Clicks Keyboard by Clicks Technology taps into this demand through a smartphone case that resembles a physical keyboard akin to that of Blackberry. Welcome to the full circle of the tactile joy of pressing physical keys.

Photo from Internet Providers

The Tangible Feel of Typing

For more than a decade now, onscreen keyboards have been the norm. However, with the rise of the y2k aesthetic, not only was the fashion industry the only market affected, but the tech industry as well. Clicks Keyboard happily joins in the trend with their product, seamlessly integrating a physical keyboard to an actual smartphone case. Currently, their case is compatible with the iPhone 14 Pro via lightning port, and iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max via USB-C.

Photo from Tech Times

Moreover, a separate charging device isn’t needed for the keyboard as it only draws power from your smartphone. You can charge your device without removing the case, making it less hassle.

Length and Light

Because the case only has a slot that perfectly fits your device, the keyboard then becomes an extension after the very bottom of your smartphone. This makes it much longer which is the trade-off for reliving the early to late 2000s while enjoying the multifaceted and updated technology in the 2020s.

Photo from Sandbox World

Just like the old Blackberry phones and even the Nokia ones, this case comes with backlit keys. Once your device is on, all the keys are illuminated, making it a breeze to type in dark spaces.

This refreshing alternative for smartphone users came in the right time when people cannot seem to let go of 2000s culture. Perhaps people will always find themselves back to where things started, because everything – and I mean everything in terms of fashion, technology, and lifestyle – seems to just go in circles. Trends may blur and disappear for some time, but perhaps it’s safe to say they truly never go out of style.

Large Backpacks and Traveling Bags Not Allowed Inside Basilica – CCPO

Before we head to the festivities for Sinulog 2024, the Cebu City Police Office has a few reminders for people who plan on going to the Basilica Minore Del Sto. Niño.

With the expectation of a large crowd during Sinulog 2024, the CCPO reminds devotees to refrain from bringing travel bags or backpacks. One of the reasons is that it will take the guards longer to check the contents of each individual’s bag.

Those with large bags will not be allowed to enter the premises. Police Lieutenant Colonel Janette Rafter, deputy city director for operations, also reminds them to wear appropriate clothes when visiting the Basilica. Visitors should also leave their belongings at the hotel.

The nine-day novena masses will begin on January 11, 2024. People can also expect different events leading to January 21, 2024— The official day of Sinulog
