Autorenporträt

Growing up in Namibia, Werner Dörgeloh formed a close connection with the surrounding unspoiled nature and wild animals. This ignited his passion for the outdoors and his career choice in wildlife management and conservation. Driven by a strong desire to explore and broaden his horizons, he travelled to all corners of southern Africa and beyond. He enjoys adventure and outdoor activities such as hiking, sailing, kayaking, motorbiking, and archery; he earned his national colors in field archery.

After leaving South Africa, he and his family made their home in the USA, but remembering his roots, he led students on wildlife programs to Africa for many years. Inspired by his lifelong experiences in Africa, he decided to share his stories. Being an avid reader of adventure travel, nature, and history provided a solid background for writing this book.
