Wildlife photographer Jeff Nadler has been fascinated by the African wild for as long as he can remember.

"As a child, I was always drawn to stories and movies about the African 'jungle', from Tarzan to King Solomon's Mines, from Frank Buck to The Man-eaters of Tsavo."

A career in scuba diving and exploring the world's oceans pushed aside adult thoughts of Africa. Then in 2001, Jeff went on his first safari, almost as an after-thought while in southern Africa on business. That experience not only re-awakened his childhood dreams of Africa, it turned that fascination into a passion for its animals.
