Growing up in the UK, an excessive consumption of BBC wildlife documentaries inspired me to abandon a legal career I hadn’t quite started, and head to Africa. I somehow got onto the trucks transporting the first reintroduced rhino to the Okavango Delta, and by then the bug had bitten. After both losing and finding myself in the Congo rainforest, I eventually settled in the concrete jungle of Joburg … because it’s easy to get back to the bush from there, which I do when I’m not writing stories for Art of Safari.
