Bernhard Grzimek (1909 – 1987) was a renowned Silesian-German zoo director, zoologist, book author, editor, and animal conservationist in post-war Germany.
Markus Borner was a contemporary of the German Conservationist Professor Bernard Grzimek in the late 1970s, and was instrumental in the early days of establishing Rubondo Island as a National Park. He recently revisited Rubondo, and here he shares his memories of the old days, coupled with his experience of the contemporary camp.
