My Serengeti Years by Myles Turner is an important African wildlife and conservation memoir recounting the experiences of one of the Serengeti’s notable game wardens. First published in Great Britain in 1987 by Elm Tree Books/Hamish Hamilton, the book was edited by acclaimed wildlife writer Brian Jackman, with an afterword by Kay Turner and illustrations by renowned wildlife artist Bob Kuhn.
Turner’s memoir provides a fascinating first-hand account of life and conservation work in Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park. Drawing on his years as a game warden, My Serengeti Years describes the practical realities of protecting one of Africa’s most celebrated wilderness areas, while offering observations of its extraordinary wildlife, landscapes and ecological challenges. His experiences place the reader within an important period in the development of modern East African wildlife conservation.
More than simply a wildlife book, My Serengeti Years combines autobiography, natural history and the history of African conservation. Turner writes from the perspective of someone directly involved in managing and protecting the Serengeti, giving the work particular interest to collectors of African hunting, game-ranger, wildlife and conservation literature.
