TITLE: Conservationist Tony Fitzjohn: born to be wild
PUBLICATION: Telegraph.co.uk

When Tony Fitzjohn was hired by the conservationist George Adamson to replace his assistant, killed by a lion, he had found his calling. Four decades and one near-fatal mauling of his own later, Fitzjohn is the last of a dying breed. Jessamy Calkin meets him at his rhino sanctuary in Tanzania.
'There are lots of fantastic conservationists out there,' says Charlie Mayhew from the charity Tusk, 'but most of them are hopeless at communicating. Fitz has this unique ability to be as at home under the bonnet of a Land Rover or darting wild dogs as giving a lecture to a bunch of New York socialites.'

I reluctantly oblige, if only to take my mind off what lies ahead: more than 13 miles through the parched rolling hills of the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in temperatures of 95F (35C) – all at a lung-bursting altitude of 5,500ft. ......
