Deicole was born and has grown up in Rwanda and is cofounder of Magic Safaris. Almost 20 years ago to the day, together with Eric, an old friend, they created Magic Safaris to operate in Uganda and Rwanda. It was the time when in the 2 countries the facilities were not as developed as they are now. 

At present he is mainly devoted to consolidating the operations while supervising the day-to-day management of the 2 agencies. In the near future he hopes to pass the torch to the new generation.

Every crisis provided us with new opportunities.  After the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda we came to Uganda and in 2009 the Global Financial Crisis forced us to change our business model. Today it's not different. We are challenged by yet another global crisis, this time a severe health crisis.This gives us the opportunity to transmit our experience gathered over the last 20 years and pass the business to a new generation. Although retiring from my Managing Director function, I will stay on as Director and will focus on the transition and the maintenance of our new website.
