MGVP employs five of the seven caretakers who work at the Interim Quarantine Facility for Orphan Gorillas located in Kinigi, Rwanda. They care for the two mountain gorillas Maisha and Kaboko, and the six Grauer’s gorillas Serufuli, Pinga, Itebero, Ntabwoba, Dunia, and Tumaini. The staff includes Amiel Bapfakwita, Dieu Donne Muyambabazi, Jean Baptise Bisenigamana, Innocent Kabendera, and Fabian Bahati.
IQF Kinigi staff includes 7 caretakers for the orphaned gorillas; five work for MGVP, one for ORTPN, and one for DFGFI.
In Goma, CR Congo, the MGVP gorilla doctors oversee the care of the orphan gorillas, but the caretakers are all ICCN staff, including Andre Bauma who leads the team.

The orphans are doing so well due to these men who care for and love them. If we didn’t have men like these the orphans would have little chance to survive. God bless them all for their hard work and dedication to these gorgeous animals.

I can’t even begin to speak of the admiration I have for each of these wonderful men…Please thank them for their seemingly endless supply of patience, compassion, and love.
