Boyd Varty (@boydvarty) is the author of The Lion Tracker’s Guide to Life and Cathedral of the Wild. He has been featured in The New York Times, on NBC, and in other media and has taught his philosophy of “tracking your life” to individuals and companies around the world.

Boyd grew up in South Africa on Londolozi Game Reserve, which, under his family’s stewardship, has become renowned not only as a sanctuary for animals but as a place where the human spirit could be restored. When Nelson Mandela was released after 27 years of imprisonment, he went to Londolozi to recover.
