Desmond Foster Vesey-FitzGerald

known to all his colleagues as Vesey, and to the Africans as Bwana Mungosi (Mr Skins, which referred to the boots in which he was always seen).

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.
