For over three decades as a wilderness guide and tracker, i have spoken of a deeper meaning of what nature represents to us. This in a humble attempt to share what may normally be unseen, what lies beneath the surface hidden from view. Or perhaps that what normally appears silent. I believe, that in our modern world, these are the very spaces we need to go to ... this to discover inspiration in our lives.
The African wilderness has so much to offer this process. It is within these ancient landscapes that the human being emerged. It is home. Therefore the conservation of African wildlife is an issue of global significance for us all. This is what my story of stories is about. Alan / Old Bull |

THE REAL ELEPHANT IN THE ROOMArticle published in New Financial Magazine, December 2023Using my iconic elephant encounter video as an analogy, my intention is to re-write our deeply flawed narrative and mis-understanding of what fear is. To also address the destructive nature of fear and prejudice, and how this creates polarity and exclusiveness in so many societies in the world right now. my story is one of hope, transference, reconciliation and trans-boundary connections on so many levels. |
