On 3rd November 2013 a total solar Eclipse will pass
over West, Central and East Africa, including the countries Equatorial Gabon,
Congo, Uganda, Kenya and Ethiopia.
It is a hybrid eclipse which is the rarest of the four types
of solar eclipses and consists of three phases. At first the moon is not large
enough to completely cover the sun, which is the start of an annular solar
eclipse. As the moon’s shadow tracks across the surface of the earth, the
curvature of the globe causes the surface to rise up a little. This is enough
to change the event into a total solar eclipse. And as the curvature of the
earth drops away again it becomes an annular once more.
One of the best places to experience this awe inspiring
spectacle is in the northern part of Uganda, near Murchison Falls NationalPark. Rafiki Adventure Tours has
been preparing some special trips to ensure that the experienced eclipse
chasers can witness this wonder at its best!
