The author (left) and the 'Old Man', Mt Meru, Tanzania, 2001. In 1992, after a 6000-mile motorbike journey from the UK, Charles arrived in East Africa. Here a Tanzanian friend invited him to stay and run a butterfly project. At this time he met members of the Monduli Juu Maasai community - and many adventures were had. In 1996 he married into a family living on the edge of Arusha National Park. The relationship and antics of his new sons and their best friend, and the time they spent in the Serengeti - along with wildlife-related challenges - was the inspiration for the adventure series. Lion-human interactions had been occurring in the Rufiji and Lindi regions of southwest Tanzania, especially from the mid 90s to the mid 00s. The Dread Lions explores the dilemma of living with large predators.
