Autorenporträt

Brian Jackman is an award-winning journalist and author, a pioneer of ecotourism best known as Britain's foremost writer on African wildlife safaris. Having survived the Blitz and two years as an evacuee in WW2 he worked his way from Fleet Street messenger boy to The Sunday Times. There he spent 20 years travelling the world before leaving to freelance from home in his beloved Dorset, and despite his burning passion for Africa he still returns every year to Cornwall, where his love for the natural world first began in the 1930s.
