Following the author's journey from London bad boy to African wildlife warrior, this title focuses on a series of love affairs with the world's most beautiful and endangered creatures - affairs that so often end in pain, for to succeed in re-introducing a lion or leopard to the wild is to be deprived of their companionship.
Born Wild is the extraordinary story of one man’s passion for lions and Africa. Tony Fitzjohn is a man who stands on the front line of African conservation, living and working with wild lions; loving them, protecting them and occasionally getting mauled by them...
This book follows Tony’s dramatic biography from a London bad boy, through his 20-year apprenticeship with George Adamson of Born Free fame, to his enriching, dangerous and emotional life as a protectorate beacon for lions. His is a life of discovery and isolation outside of the civilization that most western-born people take for granted.
Tony made it his life’s work to reintroduce animals into the wild in Kenya. When they prevented him from continuing and made him unwelcome in the country he loved, he and his family had to start anew in Tanzania. There, at Mkomazi, he and his family have created a new national park – and now the Kenyans want it back.
