David Stevens Babu

Vesey had for some years experimented with an electric fence along the boundaries of the small Ngurdoto National Park (now called Arusha Park).

Jonathan Muhanga had tried one at the boundary of Manyara with Mto-wa-Mbu, but it was David Stevens Babu who got it working.

[David Babu] succeeded Jonathan Muhanga as Manyara Park Warden. He was an efficient young graduate from Mkweka College of Wildlife Management.

Park Warden at Lake Manyara National Park, became Chief Park Warden in the Serengeti

Babu, David Stevens . . . . . . . first African Warden of the Serengeti. 1981 for 9 years

I should like to record grateful thanks to David Babu, acting Director of Tanzania National Parks, and to Abercrombie and Kent Limited and Gibb's Farm for their hospitality and assistance on the safari made to the Serengeti during the preparation of this book.
