Chris Austria
My life is an incredible adventure that has taken me down some very exciting and extraordinary paths. I have been fortunate to be able to follow my passions in life. This has been a challenge, and at times a difficult road, but worth it in unimaginable ways. A life with tigers and lions has been a dream of mine since I was a child. My work with the big cats eventually led me to wildlife conservation in East Africa. Currently, I am working for the Ngamba Island Chimpanzee Sanctuary in Uganda. In 1998, the sanctuary was founded by Dr. Jane Goodall and a group of founding trustees. This website is an account of my journey.

Akagera National Park is located in the northeast region of Rwanda, along the border of Tanzania. The wildlife here is spectacular, and there are a lot of stunning zebras found in this gorgeous place. The park just recently brought in lions from South Africa. The 5 females, and 2 males are acclimating very well.
