Dan Eldon was born in London, England in 1970.  At the age of seven, a family move to Nairobi, Kenya ignited a lifelong fascination with the land and the people of Africa.  Accompanying his journalist mother on her interviews, he observed the power of media to inform and inspire.  His father’s work with local community leaders taught him how to transform ideas into action.  As a teenager, Dan combined his passion for art, adventure and activism into a personal philosophy that he called, “Safari as a Way of Life.
The Journey is the Destination

Mission Statement for Safari as a Way of Life:
“To explore the unknown and the familiar, distant and near and to record in detail with the eyes of a child, any beauty, (of the flesh or otherwise), horror, irony, traces of utopia or Hell.  Select your team with care, but when in doubt, take on some new crew and give them a chance.  But avoid at all costs fluctuations of sincerity with your best people.”
