Chris McBride Born in Johannesburg in 1941, Chris McBride is an avid student of wildlife and has lived in Timbavati and other areas of the African bush since he was a child. While doing the thesis for an Msc degree on lions from the University of California at Humboldt, two white lions were born into the lion pride the McBrides were already watching.
Chris published another book on nocturnal lion research in Northern Botswana in the late 70'sand early 80’s. A journal article also came out of this. Both books may be ordered via the Internet. Chris has recently featured in the "White Lion - King of Kings" documentary by David Adams Films as featured on Animal Planet. For more information regarding the documentary, click here www.davidadamsfilms.com.au Charlotte has spent much of her life in
the bush also, especially during her childhood, where she lived with her
parents in the wilds of Zambia. She has many years of experience in running
game lodges and will make you feel at home. The White Lions of Timbavati In this extraordinary place, an oasis in a world of disappearing and endangered species, what appears to be a new strain of lions has suddenly emerged. And for once, man, responsible for the destruction of so much wildlife, is in a position to use a whole battery of new and sophisticated techniques to protect and foster these unique animals - Temba, Tombi and Phuma; the white lions of Timbavati.

Liontide In this remarkable book Chris McBride, author of the White Lions of Timbavati and Operation White Lion provides a dramatic record of his time with the night hunters of Savuti. This account of the ceaseless struggle between Africa's largest carnivore, the lion, and its prey hurtles the reader into the dust- swirled world of the Savuti Lion prides with all its uncertainty and sudden death. SOME REVIEWS OF LIONTIDE “……PRIDE OF PLACE…..” “This is an invaluable insight into lion behaviour, crammed with information and a book that will have pride of place on the shelf of any naturalist, whether amateur or professional”. John Michell, BUSINESS DAY, 4.6.90 “It takes a rare gift to combine raw scientific data with a personal vision and belief in things natural to produce a captivating narrative. Chris McBride’s book based on his work in the mystical Savuti channel area of Botswana is such a work.” PROF J du P BOTHMA, (former) HEAD, CENTRE FOR WILDLIFE RESEARCH, UNIVERSITY OF PRETORIA. |
