Will wilson
Following an extensive career in the British military, Will moved to Rwanda in early 2021. This allowed him to engage with his underlying passion for photography and wildlife. To create better photographs Will has immersed himself in the life of Rwanda’s birds, from the 250 plus species found in the Kigali area to over 710 species that can be found across the country.
As his passion has grown he has been happy to share it with others through his writing, photography workshops, print sales, presentations, events, and social media.
Falling for the BIRDS of KIgali
Will’s first book, Falling for the Birds of Kigali was published in early 2023. Over 256 pages and 130 species photographed, the book showcases the stunning birds that call Kigali home. It also highlights the impressive conservation work being done in Rwanda’s capital, and promotes Kigali as an awesome bird watching destination.
