Three Words – from Kigali Rwanda
30 January 2017 Three words describe my day: SADNESS, FEAR, RESPONSIBILITY. SADNESS. I follow the informative path through Kigali’s Genocide Museum. Here is the history of the Tutsi genocide and the final resting place of over 250,000 victims. The Hutu, Tutsi and Twa (Pygmy) of Rwanda are all Banyarwanda who share a common language and […]
Gorilla Trekking in Volcanoes National Park – Rwanda
27-28 January 2017 I visited the Kwitonda family this morning. Within minutes of climbing a fence and entering their forest back yard, I found a large group of mothers and infants gathered around a rotted log having a picnic of mushrooms. The mothers ate; the infants clumsily practiced their vine and climbing skills. Their father […]

He is a handsome silverback who leads his troop through this section of the forest just a short walk from my Lodge. What does Kabukojo do during […]
In Search of the Elusive Tree Climbing Lion – Ishasha Uganda
22-23 January 2017 What I will always remember about Ishasha will be: the Park Rangers’ scorched earth policy; our arduous hunt for a tree climbing lion; the thunderstorm and happy hour on the savannah; almost touching the Congo; and braking for birds. My days are filled with exciting wildlife sightings; evenings I relax in my […]
