Brian Nicholson

Vivien's and Kamara's teacher, the late Brian Nicholson, was senior Game Warden in Tanzania for 24 years, and was largely responsible for expanding the Selous Game Reserve from 10,000 sq. miles to 20,000 sq. miles. He is the man who mapped the reserve which is the largest uninhabited park in the world. He was a wealth of information from years of active elephant control operations and dealing with man-eating lions in the adjoining inhabited country; walking thousands of miles on foot with porters. He was an outstanding bushman and guide. He passed away in 2010 while living with his children in Australia. Click here for an article about him in the African Indaba eNewsletter. His photo is on page 3 and the article on page 18.
