Boyd Varty was born to a family of conservationists in the African bush and grew up surrounded by the people and animals who were part of the family’s dream to “restore Eden.”

As a child, he shared his home with lions, leopards, snakes and elephants.

At age 7, he served a newly liberated Nelson Mandela, who had come to his family’s home to find stillness and nature after his years in prison.
