Brian Jackman: West with the Light... with TRE´s Giles Brown

Brian Jackman: West with the Light… with TRE´s Giles Brown

There is no where in Africa Brian Jackman has not explored, he has written several books and over the last sixty years has dominated wildlife journalism for The Sunday Times and The Telegraph. His safaris through Africa have taken him to some of the most remote and wild places with some of Africa's most famous and enchanting characters including George Adamson, Tony Fitzjohn and Iain Douglas-Hamilton. He talks about his travel to Africa with the same emotive tone he writes with. We couldn't have enjoyed hearing his wonderful stories more, and his lion impression will make the hair on the back of your neck stand up, and you will long for the African plains.
