Born Wild: The Extraordinary Story of One Man's Passion for Africa

“A vivid and colorful portrayal of a maverick who has lived life to the full and continues to do so as he tackles the challenges of conserving wild places and wild things in East Africa. A wonderful addition to any conservationist’s library.”--Dr. Richard Leakey

“Fitzjohn worked with George Adamson for 17 years at his lion preserve in Kenya (made famous from the 1966 film Born Free) and recounts his unplotted, delightfully quirky, and frequently perilous journey from rogue Englishman to African wildlife conservationist… This is a wonderfully engrossing narrative of Fitzjohn's tireless, lifelong work establishing trust with both the wild animals and prickly governments.” --Publishers Weekly, "Pick of the Week"
