Sue Hart moved to Africa in the early 1950s after training at the Royal Veterinary College in London. For Sue, Africa was far more than a place – it was home. She devoted her life not only to its extraordinary wildlife, but also to its diverse culture, its ancient landscapes and the timeless rhythms of Mother Earth. Her profound understanding of the natural world and her unwavering belief that all life is interconnected shaped everything she wrote and shared with the world.

Sue Hart had more than a dozen books published, for both adults and children,  including the bestseller, “Life with Daktari: Two Vets in East Africa” and “Tales of the Full Moon”, a series of short stories for children. 

Together with her husband, their work was the inspiration for the 1960s television  series "Daktari", and film "Clarence, the Cross-Eyed Lion".
