We went hunting buffaloes and I was left for dead

 Julius Tumushabe feeding pigs at his home in Gwerere village, Kanungo District, West Uganda.

Julius Tumushabe vividly recalls the two nights he spent in the wilderness after a hunting spree turned into an endless nightmare. He was then a poacher.

But surviving by a whisker inside Queen Elizabeth National Park in Western Uganda, is an experience the 42-year-old father of eight, would not wish on his worst enemy.

The self-proclaimed reformed poacher now rears pigs in Gwerere village in Kanungo, West Uganda where his new lifestyle has earned him a new identity, and improved his relationship with Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) besides keeping him off the bush.
