Regardless of what you may have heard, this is the truth about Dian Fossey and her Rwandan staff. This is vintage footage from 1985 of my husband David's recording of Dian and some of her staff.

Regardless of what you may have heard, Dian Fossey truly appreciated her Rwandan staff. 🙂

Here's one for your bucket list, the Giraffe Center. It was built in 1932 in Nairobi, Kenya. Staying at Giraffe Manor comes with a perk. You get to have breakfast with the giraffes!

There's a myth gorillas are ferocious. It began with the movie King Kong, where they got all kinds of things wrong. First, they're sailing off to Borneo. Second, gorillas don't live in Borneo. Orangutans do. Dian Fossey and I had a good laugh about this. https://t.co/EXkrNtobeB

Dian Fossey called mountain gorillas mighty wonderful beasts and gentle giants, and they are.

To talk about Dian Fossey, we must talk about Louis Leakey's Trimates, Leakey's Angels, or Leakey's Primates. Louis Leakey chose Dian Fossey, Jane Goodall, and Birute Galdikas to study the great apes in their natural habitats. https://t.co/PsEzmRQTVq

Dian believed if she didn't save mountain gorillas from extinction, there would be none left to study.

Every year the first week of September, Rwanda celebrates Kwita Izina, the baby gorilla naming ceremony. David and I attended with Kwita Izina in 2017, where more than 20,000 people attended worldwide. https://t.co/2dUray5v9c

It’s an exciting event enough to attend a Kwita Izina Gorilla Baby Naming Ceremony much less meet the President of Rwanda, a country I dearly love.

As the dancing medicine man chants, the rhythmic drums beat, luring the senses to go deeper. It’s a full-on experience, visiting a Rwanda cultural village in Africa. https://t.co/IFxSJjizU3

Dawn and David loved seeing the musicians, sustainable organic gardens, and this zany guy yelling and dancing. All this, while I interviewed Dian Fossey’s staff in Musanze Prison.
