Janet A Wilson

I am a South African-born author and adventurer with a passion for Africa's wilderness, wildlife, and diverse cultures. I met my husband, Tom, during student anti-apartheid protests in South Africa, and we later immigrated to Canada with our two sons in 1979. Tom and I have completed three extensive overland travels driving over fifty thousand miles (80,000 km) across Africa. From Alaska to Argentina and around Europe. To survive our marriage while on our wild adventures, we’ve had to learn the ‘street smarts of marriage.’ I have a degree in sociology and nursing and obtained my master's in health administration. Tom and I currently live in Calgary, Canada. We’ve presented to a wide variety of audiences, and the most question we asked is, “How the hell did you two put up with each alone in a car for 18 months?”
