Tony Fitzjohn is not your typical Brit. For a start, his best friends are lions. He talks to them, loves them, protects them and, occasionally, gets mauled by them Born Wild is a story of passion, adventure and skulduggery on the frontline of African conservation. Following Tony's dramatic personal journey from London bad boy to African wildlife warrior, the heart of the story is a series of love affairs with the world's most beautiful and endangered creatures. Tony tells of his twenty-year apprenticeship in Kenya with George Adamson of Born Free fame - a time of discovery, isolation and frequent danger living far from civilisation. And when he was prevented from re-introducing any more animals into the wild Tony had to start anew in Tanzania where, at Mkomazi, he has created a new National Park.
