Rory Johnston

Rory Johnston grew up in the safari business, and has planned and led expeditions throughout Africa his entire life. His earliest memories as a child are of traveling on safari in Africa with his parents, who introduced him to some of the continent's most remote regions and encouraged in him a passion for adventure and exploration, as well as an appreciation for nature.

As an author, Johnston writes about love and personal relationships, and has been able to cleverly weave his knowledge of Africa and his respect for its land, people, and wildlife into his fiction. He wrote Growing Up in Africa, A Major Hoodwink, and, most recently, The Sands of Katambora, Katambora Rising and Katambora Sunset; he also cowrote It Happened at Squeedunc Plantation with his wife, Virginia Doyle.

Johnston and his wife currently reside in Houston, Texas, but still travel to Africa several times a year.
