traveled all over the world to make wildlife photographs on all the
continents, but found out Africa was his favorite! Vincent traveled over
15 times to Africa. Highlights were Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania.
When talking about wildlife in Africa most people think about the big
game on the savannahs. But there is more…. In the forests of Uganda
and Rwanda there are 17 monkey species, including gorillas and
chimpanzees.
The photos in this issue were of a gorilla tracking in Volcanoes National
Park in Rwanda. It was raining and misty on this day in February. The
tracking was more difficult during the rain, but for the photos it was a
bonus!
During his trips to Africa Vincent noticed the travel companies were well
equipped to show their clients the wildlife, but not to get the best out of it

and visited the places in the wrong time of the day.
Vincent thought it could be done better and started Kazinga Tours in
2006. He did this with tourism professional Felex Musinguzi from
Uganda. Together they built a successful company, covering Uganda,
Rwanda and Tanzania. www.kazingatours.com
