Description

My autobiography of working with wildlife in Africa spanning 45 years. Thirty of these years were mainly with captive cheetahs in top breeding facilities. The heartbreak and problems, the laughter and good times when working with such wonderful creatures.
From my early days at Edinburgh Zoo, to Botswana, Alaska and back to South Africa. Working with Ostriches, building a crocodile ranch, managing a small game reserve where cheetahs were our specialty Where I learnt their ways and habits and of special friendships bonded with many of the hand raised cheetahs.
Rescuing cheetahs from the wilds of Namibia, where they were about to be shot. Releasing cheetahs in trial projects so that when the time came captive born cheetahs could safely be returned to the wild.
Working with lions and managing a Zoo. Travelling to meet up with other cheetah specialists and learning from them
Life and death within my human and animal friends. So many people and animals with true character, to make you cry or laugh, be proud or sad.
Looking at the world today and wondering if our grandchildren will ever be able to experience what Africa is now and what is happening to our disappearing wildlife. .
