Joel was born in Kasese district on the foothills of Rwenzori mountain in Uganda and is a Mukonzo by tribe. Joel worked as a teacher for a few years and then decided to follow his love of animals and Hiking in Rwenzori Mountains and later became a Uganda Wildlife Authority guide.

His work with Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) as a ranger and interpretive tourist guide gave him the opportunity to get to know all of the parks in Uganda. With hard work and dedication, he was appointed head UWA guide for Queen Elizabeth National Park. He loved his work in this park because as well as being able to work every day managing the wildlife, he was a mountain guide and also able to educate his local community on the boundaries of Rwenzori Mountains National Park on the proper conduct of living alongside their neighboring wildlife residents.

Joel comes to Snow Hike and wildlife Safaris with an excellent reputation and recommendation from not only our own guides but also from UWA and other tour companies. He completed the USAGA (Uganda Safari Guide Association) tourist and guiding course, the recommended defensive and 4wd course and also guiding and birding courses in Queen Elizabeth, Kibale Forest, Rwenzori Mountains forest birds and Bwindi Forest National Parks.
