The One-Bit Alternative for Audio Processing and Mastering
This paper investigates the use of an oversampled one bit signal representation, such as sigma-delta modulation, as a possible recording format. The paper first reviews both the requirements of a mastering format and one bit coding techniques. The many advantages of such a format, especially with respect to quality, error performance, compatibility, operational use and extendibility, are then discussed. It is also shown the signal can be easily converted to consumer sample rates. The problems of such a format, and their possible solutions, are then discussed. The paper concludes with recommended parameters for a one-bit recording format.

Brock LesnarBrock Edward Lesnar
- Birthdate: 07/12/1977 (age 37)
- Height: 6'3"
- Weight: 286 Ib
Brock Lesnar is one of the most dominant indivi...
As previously reported, Brock Lesnar had a backstage meltdown after his loss at Extreme Rules when John Cena cut a post-match promo instead of the original place to have him stretchered out of the building. Lesnar felt that he was made to look weak and that he was double-crossed by WWE officials. WWE's current mindset about Lesnar is that since he's getting paid a load of money to work a light schedule, he should be used to put over their top talents. There are some on Lesnar's side who believe WWE may have been testing Lesnar by changing the plan at Extreme Rules without telling him. Lesnar lost it backstage in front of everyone, going on a tear. Lesnar's relationship with WWE is said to be complicated at the moment. The company appears to be building toward a match with Triple H at SummerSlam based on what happened on RAW.
With that being said, here are the latest updates on Brock Lesnar "flipping out" at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view on Sunday night.
We do know that he did throw a fit but how much of the tantrum was real and how much of it was a way to convince the other wrestlers that him losing to John Cena was the right call, depends on who you ask.
According to sources, at least part of the tantrum was a work. Again, how much was a work depends on who you ask. There are several things that Lesnar was legitimately upset about though.
WWE tried to get out word Monday afternoon that he'd quit the company after a "blow-up" backstage at Extreme Rules. The word is that they were hoping to get "dirtsheet" websites to report it so everyone would be surprised when he came out on RAW Monday night. We never reported the story as we'd heard Lesnar was backstage at RAW and in the building so the planted story made no sense.
Lesnar was told weeks ago that he'd be losing to Cena so that wasn't the issue.
Things are said to be just crazy in WWE these days as they are doing multiple fake injury storylines and have been planting stories to try to work the 'net. They are also using Twitter and Facebook to further storyline plans and fake injury angles.
We'll keep you posted as we hear more.
Here is the story we reported earlier this morning here on the website:
WWE temporarily wrote Brock Lesnar out of the storylines during the opening segment of RAW last night. WWE is doing an angle where his current contract status is "up in the air" following the attack on Triple H. Throughout the show last night, Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler kept stressing that Lesnar's future with the company was in doubt. WWE only has Lesnar for several dates per month and will have to come up with creative ways to keep him in and out of the storylines. As noted earlier, he's signed to a one-year deal with 30-40 dates total and a minimum of two appearances per month.
As noted earlier this morning here on the website, Lesnar threw a tantrum backstage at Extreme Rules after his loss to John Cena. Lesnar was upset about Cena's post-match promo because the original plans called for Cena to be stretchered out. Lesnar felt that he was made to look weak and was under the impression WWE officials double crossed him.
According to sources, WWE's new mentality with Lesnar is that they're paying him a ton of money and he's not even their top star. It's said they want to use him to put over top talents (Cena, Orton, etc.). Lesnar's camp feels like WWE was just testing him by having Cena cut the post-match speech.
It should be noted that Lesnar was told before the match at Extreme Rules that John Cena would be taken out of the arena on stretcher. He was also told Cena would look totally incapacitated and be "injured". After the match ended and Cena cut his promo, Lesnar went crazy backstage. This happened in front of numerous WWE officials. He was said to be throwing and tearing things up in the locker-room and screaming to anyone who would listen. Lesnar specifically yelled at Marc Carano, the assistant to John Laurinaitis, about how things are a mess and everything is wrong in WWE these days. Some felt that part of the tantrum was just an act by Lesnar to show to the locker room that he could quit at any minute and doesn't really care to be there. Some of those same people felt that WWE officials could have been involved in Lesnar trying to work the other...

Wood Lovers Unite – It's a Global Passion
This article is compliments of Paul Miller; Retired wood boat builder; Hobby furniture maker. Paul also writes for Lumber Jock (LJ) Blog as 'Shipwright'.
"I love to think outside the box and I love to do things I've never tried before. Almost every project I start involves design as you go flexibility and at least a couple of things that I hope I can accomplish but that I'm not sure I can. I try to use local hardwoods when I can rather than commercial "store bought" material. I like that it gives a feeling of heritage to the piece." PM
On a recent trip to Europe, Paul made a special visit to Les Fils de J. George in Paris. He says "to some Paris may be the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, or the palace at Versailles…………….
They are fine and I did see them but the real attraction for me this trip was an old building out on Rue Gallieni where some of the last sawn veneer in the world can be found. I won't get into singing the praises of this stuff here but suffice to say that at about ten times the price of the common sliced veneer what we see here is pretty special.
The Wood Market – Today….Tomorrow – For You and For Me
About a month ago, we received an email from a supplier commenting on the strengthening US dollar and it's affects on the increasing cost of lumber. This is an upward trend that is a double-edged sword for Canada; a country reliant on exports and a robust trading partner with the US.
"The Hardwood Review Weekly has had two recent articles that offer an explanation as to why lumber has been in tight supply and prices have been on an increase. Here is a condensed version covering their basic content:
"Overproduction No Longer Inevitable – Several Reasons Why Supply Won't Overtake Demand Anytime Soon" by Andy Johnson, Editor
Source: Hardwood Review Weekly, November 29, 2013 (Vol. 30, Issue 11)
Source: Hardwood Review Weekly, December 6, 2013 (Vol. 30, Issue 12)
Supply Side Constraints to Increasing Production:
- Fewer sawmills (many grade and tie mills have closed and were dismantled)
- Limited capital availability (credit requirements have tightened considerably for hardwood companies)
- Labour shortage (pool of qualified loggers, sawyers, graders and machine operators is quite low)
- Highly competitive timber/log markets (rapidly rising lumber prices have mills eager to buy as much raw material as they can afford)
Big Trees – Big Dreams
Jan and I have traveled north – beyond on the rapids – to The Broughton Archipelago on three occasions since 2004. We have always been the smallest, oldest and most wooden boat up there. It is a go-to destination for yachts, mega-yachts and super-mega yachts without a doubt.
Being 'bookie' people, we have quite a library aboard. We collect books on natural and cultural history, on local stories – from then and now and of course, the various boating bibles on the go-to destinations. If you read my articles, you'll know we love to mix travel and timber-talk as much as possible…..and what better occasions to see the industry in action. These books spin a tale of hard work and the pioneering spirit, industry growth and decline…..and reinvention. Up in the Broughton's, you can 'live' history.
I have discovered a fabulous synopsis of the History (150 Years) of the Forest Industry in BC. This is credited to The Historical Thinking Project at www.historicalthinking.ca. This project is committed to the incorporation of historical thinking into curriculum, classrooms and educational resources. Can't argue that!
Victoria High School's Woodworking and Construction Program
By our customer and Victoria High Teacher, Stewart Wheeler
Victoria High School's woodworking and construction program starts at the grade 9 level and gives student's the opportunity to take up to 7 different courses by the time they graduate. In grade 9 students do a simple table -600mm long by 285mm wide by 440mm high out of pine or another inexpensive wood. They will also build a giftbox using a choice of different woods. In grade 10, students will do a detailed display table that introduces a variety of wood joints and techniques – biscuited mitres, mortise and tenon, pocket holes, dados, rabbets, cross laps. They will also be introduced to turning on the wood lathes by producing a simple bowl. The last required project is a box of their selection out of a "Box by Box" book from Lee Valley which has a range of boxes that vary in difficulty.
Pacific Yew- The Cognac of Wood
This wood is my absolute favourite of favourites. Quite simply, it has a richness that speaks to my senses like a fine cognac long-aged in French oak barrels, or perhaps your preference is Grand Marnier. My kitchen cabinets are made from yew, as are many of our doors here at West Wind Hardwood, and upon returning from time away, I am always struck by how extraordinary this richly coloured, unique wood is.
There are many, many species of yew; one of the more common is English yew. The name "Yew" comes from the Proto-Germanic "īwa-"and with a possible origination from the Gaulish "ivos" referring to the colour brown. Our local species is known as Pacific yew, western yew, American yew, Oregon yew, bow-plant, mountain mahogany.
Long associated with magic, death and rebirth/eternal life; attributed with magical and psychic abilities, yew was one of the 'nine sacred woods' used in the ritual fires of the Celts, and as a 'totem' tree by Celtic tribes. Reincarnation has always held a fascination for me; multiple lives and such. I hold the concept lightly having had no first-hand experiences but I was recently informed that I have lived three previous lives; my first as a female warrior in Pre-Roman Britain which I find curious considering the importance the yew tree held in these times. Perhaps some heed should be given to Hamlet's words: '…There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.'
Largest Wooden Apartment Building
A Norweigan housing cooperative (BOB) has revealed plans to build what is said to be the world's largest apartment block.
Totalling 14 stories and overlooking the cities famous Fjords, BOB hopes to promote sustainable materials while boosting the county's forestry industry.
"The biggest challenge in building a 14-storey wooden building is preventing big swings amid strong winds," Commented BOB.
When completed the building will contain a rooftop terrace, a Japanese garden, an indoor patio, a glass façade and views of the fjord. Hopefully ready for sale by early 2014.
To cut down construction time, the building will be made from prefabricated modules and stabilized by diagonal timber structures.

Oregon is once again a national leader, becoming one of a small handful of states to develop a comprehensive, single database of the entities regulated for environmental compliance. "I think there are maybe two or three other states that have done this," said Dave Belyea, Regional Environmental Solutions Manager for the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality's Western Region in Eugene. Belyea oversees the database project. Think of it this way: if a police officer pulls over a driver and wants to check his or her record, the results are immediate from a law enforcement database. The officer can see at a glance if the driver is a repeat offender who needs to be taken off the road, or a first-time violator who may just need a warning. Prior to the new DEQ database, there was no way to track an entity's compliance history.

Grant Money = Free Money
Now, Tax Credits too!
And with Rochester NY Home Prices...WOW!
Illustration : Frank and Mary Smith, eligible taxpayers, buy a $200,000 principal residence in February of 2009. They may claim a first-time homebuyer credit of $8000 on their 2009 income tax return (lesser of $8,000 or 10% of the $200,000 cost of the home). The Income tax they owe on their 2009 taxes is $5000. After the IRS has processed the return, they will receive a check for $3,000. (The difference between the amount they owed and the total credit allowed) This is NOT a loan like the previous program! Call or email me for more information (see form below!)
SONYMA (State of New York) offers first time Home Buyers Grant money of $5000 or a lower interest. More programs are available like the $3000 Grant money from Providence for home purchased in Monroe County (not city of Rochester-there is a eperate grant for that). There are some restrictions and qualification guidlines, but overall not many hoops to jump through. Call me today for more information!
There are also local programs available. Please contact me for specific details.

The video was one of the best purchases I've ever made. I'd looked at some of the books but I really learn new techniques best by visual demonstration. Instructions are clear and last weekend I learned two new Cast-ons in less than five minutes for a project I was working on. Really great quality and fantastic reference.

I purchased this CD to use in conjunction with the book at our Sewing Club. It is wonderful. Even 45 cast ons and bind offs is MORE than enough. Directions are good.

"But this competition is difficult to win. It's about what happens on the day. Luton have reached the fifth round. Anything can happen. Form goes out of the window. It's all about what happens in those 90 minutes.
"I've seen quite a lot of Reading's games. They play good football and recently have picked up a few points. It is not going to be an easy game. We have not had too many of them at Old Trafford. We have to try and make sure we break them down."

Search Results for "12"
Little Kulala: Elegance amongst the red sands
Tucked away on a 37,000 hectare private Kulala Wilderness Reserve, Little Kulala shows off the haunting beauty of the Namib desert. Inspired by its environment, the neutral colours, rich textures and natural light of the camp blend perfectly into the sprawling desert. You will truly experience the vastness of seemingly endless landscapes and vast starlit skies.
Kulala means "to sleep" and the camp is made up of 11 thatch roofed villas, or kulalas, each with climate control, ensuite with indoor/outdoor shower, a private deck and plunge pool. Each kulala has a rooftop skybed where you can lie back and drink in the African night skies.
The spectacular red dunes of Sossusvlei are what bring people to this area and Little Kulala is the only camp with direct access. Climb Big Daddy with its red sands reaching over 300m above the valley floor. Head out in the early morning and capture the deep reds and rich shadows of the sunrise over Sossusvlei. Or take a hot air balloon safari, floating across the dramatic dunes and returning for a champagne breakfast.
But there is more to explore than the dunes. Take a quad bike tour of the beautiful Kulala Wilderness Reserve. Wander the hills and dunes on one of the guided walking trails. Walk or drive in search of the smaller desert animals like the bat-eared fox, or take a night walk to look for the dancing lady spider.
Then return to camp to shop at the craft boutique, lounge in the library or enjoy a sundowner overlooking the magic desert landscape. Just drink in the serenity.
Little Ongava: Privacy on the Namibian plains
Little Ongava is probably the most exclusive safari lodge in Namibia. Taking a maximum of six guests at any one time, it is all about exclusivity and personalized service.
Each of the three thatched villas is meticulously appointed and includes a private plunge pool, ensuite bathroom, sala and an outdoor shower with views of the waterhole. The entertainment area is ideally set up for relaxation and stylish dining.
Guests share a dedicated guide to ensure an optimal nature experience. As well as the private Ongava Reserve, there is the incredible expanse of Etosha National Park, one of Africa's largest game parks, to explore.
The wildlife here is plentiful year round. Game drives will view elephant, lion, black rhino, springbok, gemsbok, hartebeest, leopard, cheetah…and the list goes on. The birdlife is also spectacular; look out for the White-tailed Shrike, Short-toed Rock Thrush, Hartlaub's Francolin and the abundant raptors roaming the endless skies. The more adventurous may choose to track the endangered black rhino on foot.
Return to Little Ongava to enjoy champagne in a warm bath as you stare out over the magnificent plains. Enjoy a sundowner looking out over the busy waterhole. Dine on your veranda and drink in the vast African skies. Do as you please – this is your own private piece of Africa.
Desert Rhino Camp: Track the Endangered Black Rhino
The Desert Rhino Camp sits amongst the golden plains and rolling, rocky hills of the 450,000 hectare Palmway Concession in Damaraland, between Etosha and the Skeleton Coast.
Partly owned by the Save the Rhino Trust (SRT), this rustic camp is designed to offer guests unique insights into the ecology of this vulnerable area, as well as contributing directly to its conservation.
Namibia's desert-adapted black rhino is a true desert survivor. Ancient rock art shows rhinos in the region centuries ago, but the late 20th century almost obliterated them. By 1982 less than 10 rhinoceros survived in Kaokoland and an estimated 30 to 40 survived in Damaraland. Thanks in part to the efforts of SRT; northwest Namibia now enjoys the largest truly free-ranging black rhino population left in the world.
The camp is remote and provides a personalised experience. Holding a maximum of only 12 guests, the setting is minimalist but still full of character and comfort. The eight raised Meru-style canvas tents each have a private verandah where guests can take in the sweeping valley that stretches to the Etendeka Mountains in the background.
The comfortable, tented dining and lounge areas are also elevated. Sit in the large lounge or one of the comfy chairs and read one of the many books on Namibia, or gaze through the partially opened sides of the tent to the panoramic views beyond.
Evening meals are taken around the fire pit. Here guests gather to recount tales of day's adventures.
The rhino tracking starts early. Trackers from SRT are in contact with your guide, informing them where to find the rhino. Usually guides will drive to within a kilometer of the rhinos' location and then approach on foot.
The rhino is not the only game to be found on the Concession. There is a healthy number of desert adapted elephants, a large population of Hartman's mountain zebra, giraffe, oryx, springbok and kudu. The predator population is Namibia's largest outside of Etosha, with lions, cheetah, leopard, brown and spotted hyenas.
Alex Walker's Serian Serengeti South: Distinctive Bush Camp and Walking Safaris
Serian Serengeti South is a seasonal camp that operates only between December and late April. Because the camp is mobile it is more basic than some of the luxurious lodges. But what it lacks in luxury it more than makes up for in atmosphere and adventure. This is a place to feel the true heart of Africa.
The camp is open in the months when this area is inundated with a million or more wildebeest, and at the height of wildebeest calving season. With exclusive use of a 250,000-acre conservation area, guests experience the great migration in an intimate way, far from the hordes of tourists and jeeps.
Alex Walker has been guiding and outfitting safaris for over 30 year. He and his hand picked professional team of guides have created distinctive safaris, focused on walking and exploring.
This is a place to disconnect and be seduced by the rhythms of Africa. The eight tents are stylish, but basic. There is no telephone or Wi-Fi. Instead, guests enjoy exclusive use of a vehicle with a private guide and spotter to explore and the seemingly endless short grass plains and divorce themselves from the everyday world.
The truly adventurous have a unique opportunity to walk with experienced guides and Hadzabe bushmen into the wilderness for two or three days fly camping. This is an unadulterated bush experience, shared with those who know and understand the bush.

Singita Pamushana Lodge: Africa's Magical & Luxurious Secret
The Malilangwe Wildlife Reserve is a 150,000 acre conservation area, established to protect and manage the extraordinary wilderness and wildlife in this part of southeastern Zimbabwe.
The Singita Pamushana Lodge is the ecotourism arm of the reserve, and one of the most magical secrets on the African continent.
The setting is magnificent, with the lodge built amongst forests of Mopane and Baobab trees and overlooking the serene lake formed by the Malilangwe dam. There are six luxury suites and one five-bedroom villa, each with a private pool and extraordinary views.
Teeming with birds and wildlife, The Malilangwe Wildlife Reserve holds one of the highest concentrations of black rhino in Africa, fourteen different species of eagle, and endangered species such as the roan and sable antelope.
The magnificence of the landscape and the abundance of wildlife can be appreciated from the comfort of the lodge, or head out on a game drive, safari walk, sundowner cruise or mountain bike ride. Unlike other camps that follow a strict routine, how you plan your day is completely up to you.
If you tire of the views and the wildlife then play tennis on one of the lodge's two tennis courts, set out on a fishing trip, head to the gym, relax in the spa, visit the 2 millenia old San rock paintings, or experience some local Shangaan culture.
But leave time to enjoy the exquisite food and wines. Pamushana Lodge is one of the continent's most influential collectors of wines, with a cellar stocked with some of Africa's most sought after reserves.
Everything is impeccable at Pamushana, but it is possibly its passion and its people that set this lodge above others of its kind. The level of service is exceptional. Your every whim is met, often before you've even had a chance to articulate it. And the passion for conserving this special place and developing the local villages gives this magical spot a special heart.

Somalisa: Authentic African Bush Tents
A four to five hour drive or 40 minute charter flight from Victoria Falls, this authentic tented bush camp offers up old world African charm and elegance right in the heart of Hwange National Park.
Six elegantly furnished canvas tents sit along the edge of an ancient seasonal flood plain. Each is decorated in a bygone, colonial style with ensuite flush toilets and alfresco bush showers.
The dining and lounge areas are nestled under a soaring canopy of acacia trees and offer breathtaking views of the savannah plains and the famous Kennedy Vlei line.
After the first summer rains in November/December the plains are ablaze with seasonal wildflowers, making this the most beautiful spot in the park. The dry season between May and October offers some of the best elephant viewing in Africa, with elephants seen right in the camp.
The passionate and knowledgeable guides offer game drives, guided walks, bird watching and evening night drives. Expect to see elephant, kudu, sable, the rare and endangered roan antelope, buffalo, white rhino, lion, leopard, and hyena amongst other wildlife species.
Somalisa lets you explore Africa the way you have imagined: up close to nature with the romance of a true safari bush camp.
Little Makalolo: An Intimate Hwange Experience
This is probably the most comfortable safari camp inside the massive Hwange National Park, and offers some of the park's best game viewing areas.
Little Makalolo is one of only a few private camps in Hwange, and guests enjoys exclusive use of an enormous concession area right in the heart of Zimbabwe's largest game reserve.
The camp itself is intimate, with a sense of remoteness. There are six traditional canvas tents, each with an ensuite and indoor and outdoor showers. The shared dining area, living area and plunge pool all overlook the watering hole at the front of the camp, which is a magnet for wildlife.
This area of the park has impressive herds of buffalo and elephant and a high concentration of the rare and beautiful sable and roan antelope. It is also one of the best places to view the predators with lions, leopards, cheetah and wild dog on the prowl.
The excellent guides offer game drives in 4 x 4 vehicles and guided safari walks. Or you can get up close and personal from behind the log pile hide overlooking the watering hole.
Little Makalolo is environmentally and socially responsible. Funds from tourism flow directly to the local communities closest to the park through dividends and salaries. And a portion of each guests fare is allocated to Wilderness Safaris Wildlife Trust which allocates funds to approved conservation projects.

Combine North and South Serengeti – Mike's Little Secret
NOTE: This safari idea only works between December and March.
The Serengeti is synonymous with the wildebeest migration. Most travellers try to be in the right part of the massive Serengeti plains at the right time of year to catch the migration. Which usually means that people tick the Serengeti off their list having seen only one end of these mighty plains.
We've got a better idea.
Go South
In the months between December and March the wildebeest have amassed on the vast, seemingly endless grasslands of the southern plains. The trick is to witness the grandeur of the migration without also having to witness the massive influx of tourists. For this we recommend Alex Walkers Serian Serengeti South Camp.
Alex Walker is an exceptional guide who not only knows how to track wildlife, but also knows plenty of secret corners of the Serengeti. The camp is positioned away from the main cluster so you are afforded an opportunity to see one of nature's great wonders the way it was designed to be seen – one your own.
This is a semi-mobile, tented camp that stays up only while the wildebeest are running, so it's more rustic than some luxury lodges but it's still very comfortable.
Then Head North
The northern end of the Serengeti is completely different to the southern plains. Lush, rolling grasslands collide with tree lined watercourses and rocky outcrops, known as kopje. The feeling is wilder, more dramatic.
And here's our secret. The wildebeest may have migrated south, but the zebras, gazelles, buffalo, giraffe, elephants, lions and leopards are still here, along with a very few privileged people who are in the know.
We recommend Lamai Serengeti, an up-market permanent lodge tucked amongst the rocks of Kogakuria Kopje with panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes. Explore the intricacies of the area with game drives or take a walking safari.
And congratulate yourself on having discovered a little African secret
Planning note: The Serengeti combines well with Lake Manyara where we would recommend either the luxury of Chem Chem Lodge or a more adventurous stay at Little Chem Chem Bushcamp.
Indulge in Singita's 'Six Star' Safari's
Singita has created a wholly new type of luxurious, high-end African experience, offering what I consider to be "six star" lodges in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Tanzania.
On a recent trip to South Africa I visited three Singita lodges: Ebony in the Sabi Sands area, Lebombo and Sweni in Kruger National Park. I've never experienced anything quite like it before!
- Each lodge is different, but all are discerningly designed and decorated to blend seamlessly into their environment and provide genuine comfort. This is as close to a six star hotel as you will ever get in the African bush.
- With a light touch, the staff caters for your every whim from the moment you arrive. It's almost as though you get what you want before you realise you want it.
- Unlike most safari lodges, there is no regimentation or routine: you set your own agenda. Get up when you want. Dine when and where you want. Set your own times and methods of exploration.
- A foodie's heaven, each lodge offers fine dining and excellent wines. All wines are African (except for the French Champagne). A highlight of my stay at Ebony Lodge was a surprise 5-course wine & food matching dinner set up on the airstrip. The glow of bonfires and lanterns was the only light to compete with the wonder of the African sky. The food was mind-blowing.
- The guides are exceptional. And if you are visiting more than one of their South African lodges you can choose to retain one guide for your entire stay.
- I was surprised to discover incredible on-site markets, ensuring that even shopaholics are catered for at Singita. You can buy the luxurious linens, shampoos and other items found in your suite and spend hours browsing through an incredible gallery of African art and craft.
- As a lover of Africa, I was particularly pleased to discover that Singita is deeply involved in wildlife conservation and community development projects. In Sabi Sand, Singita supports a pre-school development program. At Kruger National Park they offer the Singita School of Cooking. In Zimbabwe, where the need is greater, Singita are currently helping to feed 19,000 children affected by drought.
I highly recommend Singita lodges to all of our clients who seek true luxury. If you look for the finest quality and most personal care then please talk to me about including Singita in your itinerary.
Go Off the Beaten Track in Wildest Tanzania
8 Day Fly-in Safari in Katavi and Ruaha National Park
This 7-night safari idea takes you well off Tanzania's beaten track, to explore the western and central parts of the country. You can be assured that you won't be waiting in any queues as you explore the wide-open floodplains of Katavi National Park and the dramatic landscapes and massive baobabs of Ruaha National Park.
Day 1 to 5: The Floodplains of Katavi
From Arusha Airport you travel west on a charter flight to Katavi. Even today few people visit this part of the world, and you will sense its untouched beauty even as fly across the open spaces. As you soar across the vast plains of yellow grasses you will have trouble spotting the 6-tent, eco-friendly Chada Katavi camp that will be your home for the next 4 nights.
The camp is stylish but has the simple feel you would expect in a remote bush camp. Your comfortable tent is wide open to the glorious landscape, with the comforts of an ensuite bathroom and safari-style bucket shower.
You may need to share the camp with elephants, who are frequent visitors. And looking out of your tent each morning, don't be surprised by the vast herds of buffalo who frequently graze right in front of the camp.
The game is everywhere so you don't have to leave the comfort of your tent to see all kinds. But you will want to venture beyond the camp on the shared walks and game drives, including a night game drive.
Day 5 to 8: The Elephants and Baobabs of Ruaha
You fly from Katavi to Ruaha Msembe, entering Tanzania's second largest national park. Ruaha National Park, right in the heart of Tanzania, covers 13,000 square kilometers of rocky escarpments, hills dotted with baobabs, open savannah and the great Ruaha River.
You will transfer to the 12-bed tented Kigelia Ruaha on the edge of Ifuguru Sand River. The camp is light, making minimal impact upon its surroundings. But it's still stylish and comfortable with large beds, ensuite bathrooms and a wonderful shared "pavilion" tent for dining and relaxing.
This area offers a unique variety of animal, bird and plant life, being a transition zone where southern and eastern species overlap. Famous for it's 10,000-strong elephant population, it is also home to the Greater and Lesser Kudu, Sable and Roan antelope, giraffe, zebras and, of course, the predators that follow: lions, leopards, cheetah and jackal. With over 570 bird-species, the area is a bird-watchers paradise.
Day 8:
You fly back from Ruaha Msembe to Arusha Airport leaving the remote corners of Tanzania behind.
As with all our safari ideas, this has been designed to spark your imagination. All aspects of this itinerary can be adjusted to suit you. We want you to discover your own Africa!
