Résumé

When she was fifteen, Tammie Matson went on safari with her father to Zimbabwe - and it changed her forever. Back in Australia she turned her life upside down to build her future in Africa. Returning to the safari camps - this time as a worker - she out-ran a charging lioness, played with a cheetah, stumbled across poachers and watched with amazement as a witchdoctor struck fear into his victims' hearts.
This was the adventure she was looking for and deciding to study zoology gave her a reason to stay. When the Zimbabwean war vets grew too threatening, Tammie headed to the Etosha National Park in Namibia. In that harsh, dry, devastatingly beautiful land, she has overcome the language barrier, the male-dominated society and the physical hardships to create a life she loves.

Biographie de Tammie Matson

Dr Tammie Maston was born in Townsville, Queensland. On her first trip to Zimbabwe with her father at the age of fifteen she fell in love with the country and decided she had to return. She changed her degree from Law to Environmental Science so she could study there. After graduating, she was offered a scholarship to do a PhD in Zoology. She has been living in Namibia since 2000, based initially at Etosha National Park and subsequently in the capital, Windhoek.
She currently works as an environmental consultant for organisations including Wilderness Safaris, Save the Rhino Trust and the Namibian Professional Hunters Association, as well as running a research project on human-elephant conflicts at the request of the Chief of the Bushmen.
