Arusha — ONE of the world's
recognised Television talk show celebrity Oprah Winfrey is touring
Serengeti National Park for what is described as private excursion.
The woman behind the popular 'Oprah
Winfrey' shows, Oprah, who is also a famous film actress and currently
playing the role of Gloria Gaines in the 2013 movie 'The Butler,' is
reportedly, going to be in or around the Serengeti National Park for the
whole week starting this weekend.
"It is going to be Oprah's private
tour," admitted Mr Paschal Shelutete the Public Relations Manager for
Tanzania National Parks (TANAPA) which manages Serengeti, the country's
second largest National Park, but which is also the most known.
Her private excursion in the
Serengeti, however, won't prevent Oprah from meeting and hold talks with
the Deputy Minister for Natural Resources and Tourism, Mr Lazaro
Nyalandu who is also flying to Serengeti to welcome the pop-culture
doyenne and founder of television talk shows media genre.
Ever since she debuted in the 1985
film, 'Colour Purple' Oprah has starred in 28 other movies in addition
to producing several Television Documentaries and publishing three
books.
Whether we should expect her next
film or TV documentary to be filmed in Serengeti is yet to be seen but
the country's popular Park, home to the legendary migration of over 2
million wildebeests and Zebras, the queen may be interested to capture a
bit of the spectacular show.
Winfrey has remained the only African
American to rank among America's 400 richest people nearly every year
since 1995. With a net worth of US $800 million, Winfrey is believed to
be the richest African American of the 20th century.
She has also won, and nominated for,
various outstanding awards including the 'Academy Awards,' 'Emmy
awards,' 'Golden Globe Award,' 'PGA Awards' and got named as best talk
show presenter and host several times.
Winfrey has remained the only African
American to rank among America's 400 richest people nearly every year
since 1995 and is believed to be the richest African American of the
20th century.
She is also generous because in 2004,
Winfrey became the first black person to rank among the 50 most
generous Americans and she remained among the top 50 until 2010. By 2012
she had given away about US $400 million to educational causes.
