About Robert Byarugaba
Robert Byarugaba was born in 1973 on the boarders of the famous Bwindi Impenetrable national park. All our gardens would be destroyed by the Baboons, monkeys and Mountain Gorillas, so I grew up as a crop guard all my early childhood. Residing in a grass thatched house as the whole family, when it rained, it would lick because the grass and banana fiber were often rotten hence a forced shower.
His dad (Kafuruka) was a well known hunter who inspired him (Robert) when he was 10 years to join the gang of poachers.
