The expedition tagged “Egypt Gateway to Africa” began its adventure trip in the City of Beartiz in Southern France on October 4, 2012, and was scheduled to cut across 12 African countries to its final destination in Cape Town, South Africa.
While talking to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority (NCAA) and Tanzania Tourist Board (TTB) officials and the media, Mr. Siag said that most of the people in the group were very excited at seeing the endangered rhino, a hutting pride of lions, herd of buffaloes and other wild animals, as it was their first time to see them in their real life and natural surroundings. “We only watch wildlife on television and DVDs”.
