We recognise the demands of the modern traveller, with a desire to explore their chosen destinations on a deeper, emotional level. Our group of companies enable clients to experience unique attractions in some of the most beautiful landscapes on earth, with a true sense of being at one with nature. In 2018, both our companies in Kenya and Tanzania were nominated for World Travel Awards. Pollman’s Tours & Safaris received two awards as “Africa’s Best Tour Operator” for the first time and “Kenya’s Leading Inbound Tour Operator” for the third consecutive year. These awards are testament to the dedication of the teams and the loyal support of our travel partners worldwide. We thank you for your support and look forward to continuing the great partnerships we have into 2019 and beyond. 2019 is a significant milestone for the organisation as we celebrate “100 Years of Excellence”! Pollman’s Tours & Safaris celebrates 60 years of excellence in Kenya whilst Ranger Safaris celebrates 40 years of excellence in Tanzania. This is a landmark for ARP Travel Group, achieved together with the continued loyal support of our partners. As East Africa continues its growth, we look forward to working closely together in further developing unique and exciting itineraries for your clients. We are delighted to present our latest brochure to our esteemed travel partners. Since our last market leading brochure, there have been significant developments in East Africa. These have included new hotels in Nairobi around Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, Wilson Airport as well as in the city centre. A range of new lodges and camps have opened across East Africa. The Madaraka Express, a new high-speed train service linking Nairobi and Mombasa has launched daily services with stops close to Amboseli, Tsavo and Taita Hills. There have also been a number of developments in the aviation sector with a wider range of flight choices to increase flexibility on the safari circuit. We have taken advantage of the enhanced products on offer to create a range of dynamic and exciting programs, as well as enrichments to some of our best selling itineraries. ARP Travel Group strives for service excellence in each destination and we continue to invest in our infrastructure with new staff members, a new office at Nairobi International Airport and growth in our vehicle fleet. As we phase out the two-wheel drive minibuses in Kenya over the next couple of years, we continue to invest in new 4x4 vehicles, with enhancements for clients’ comfort and game viewing. Our safari guides and operational staff consistently receive excellent feedback from travellers, in part due to our ongoing development programs. This new and exciting brochure has changed not only in look and feel, but also includes some very innovative itineraries while being conscious of the demographics and personal requirements of our travellers. We anticipate this brochure will help to enhance your product knowledge as it showcases the variety of services we offer in East Africa. We thank you for entrusting us with your clients and endeavour to provide the best service for a truly memorable journey through the wilds of Africa. Africa is our passion. Africa is our home.

  • In the Preservation of Documentary Heritage: a Professional Challenge for Uganda
    Date : 02/07/2006 The place of ‘Library, Archives and Museum’ in the Preservation of Documentary Heritage: A professional challenge for Uganda Elisam Magara Senior Lecturer, East African School of Library and Information Science, Makerere University Kampala, Uganda Meeting: 96 Preservation and Conservation with Continuing Professional Education and Workplace Learning and the Preservation and Conservation Core Activity Simultaneous Interpretation: No WORLD LIBRARY AND INFORMATION CONGRESS: 72ND IFLA GENERAL CONFERENCE AND COUNCIL 20-24 August 2006, Seoul, Korea http://www.ifla.org/IV/ifla72/index.htm Abstract Libraries, archives and museum constitute a major part of the people’s life and reflect the diversity of people’s languages and cultures in the knowledge society. Despite of the colonial influence, many African countries including Uganda have preserved their natural and cultural heritage in terms of social tradition and documentary heritage with little emphasis on the integration of the functions of the libraries, archives and museum. A survey on selected institutions that are involved in the collection, storage, preservation and promotion on the use of natural, historical, cultural documentary heritage in Uganda was conducted. The data was obtained through interviews of key persons that were selected purposively from those institutions, attending the consultative meetings with staff at the National Library of Uganda, Uganda Museum, National Archives and East African School of Library and Information Science, department of Records and Archives Management. The paper also attempted to review the literature about the subject. Findings indicated that there is lack of a strategy in co- ordinating the functions of libraries, archives and museum in documenting and preserving the documentary heritage in Uganda.

  • Threatened Ecosystem, Shared Responsibility
    LAKE JIPE Threatened Ecosystem, Shared Responsibility Background Lake Jipe is located on the Kenya-Tanzania border, to the North and East of the Pare Mountains. The lake borders Kenya's Tsavo West National Park to the south, while Tanzania's Mt. Kilimanjaro dominates the horizon some distance to the northwest. The lake is 700 metres above the sea level and has an area of 28 square kilometres, maximum length of 12 kilometres, average depth of less than three metres and the width varies between 2-3 kilometres. Lake Jipe is part of the Pangani River Basin. The River Lumi is the main river that flows into the lake from Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania passing through Kenya before it reaches the lake again in Tanzania. River Muvuruni flows into the lake from the south. There are several seasonal streams, mainly from the North Pare Mountains that also drain into Lake Jipe. The lake has one outflow, the River Ruvu, located in Tanzania to the North of the lake flowing westwards to Nyumba ya Mungu. The lake's ecosystem is endowed with rich biodiversity and is known especially for water birds. Commercial activities taking place around the lake include fishing, livestock rearing, agriculture, tourism, especially around the Tsavo National Park. The prosperity and future of the populations who live near the lake, and the well-being of the environment, depend on wise use of the lake's water and wise management of natural resources. Over the years, the effects of human activity and climate change have conspired to rob the lake of its valuable resources, thereby affecting ecosystem biodiversity and the livelihoods of local populations.

Mark Shaw and Julia Stanyard gave crucial intellectual input and transformed the structure of the report. Thanks to Tuesday Reitano and Monique de Graaff for making things happen. Also, to Mark Ronan, Pete Bosman and Jacqui Cochrane of the GI editorial and production team for producing the maps and the final report.
