Author Information

Marga Davis is a German-speaking South African author, mindful storyteller, qualified safari guide, and former junior school teacher whose family once traded the Alps for Africa's wild embrace through the German consulate. Her love for nature first sparked on a sheep farm in the wide-open Karoo and deepened on the doorstep of Addo Elephant National Park, where she launched her guiding career, raised her children, and welcomed all seven grandchildren - lovingly known as the Safari Seven Crew.With more than 25 years of guiding guests across Southern Africa's wild heartlands, Marga carries a lifetime of bush wisdom, quiet observation, and deep spiritual connection to the natural world. Her years as an honorary ranger in Addo ignited the nature notes she has gathered for over three decades - reflections she now transforms into mindful stories and blessings for children and families.Inspired by adventures with her family and the Safari Seven Crew, Marga created the Amari's Safari Collection(TM), a groundbreaking series spanning four age bands (2-6, 6-9, 9-12, and 12+). Through animal messages, gentle mindfulness, and the timeless rhythms of the wild, her stories celebrate courage, curiosity, kindness, and the profound interconnectedness of all living beings. This legacy of safari-rooted storytelling is set to grow across generations.Owning an Amari's Safari book is more than reading - it is an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, honour every soul, and feel the heartbeat of Africa whispering its ancient wisdom. Jane de Vries is a UK-born artist now living in Germany. Originally trained and working as a physicist, her creative journey began unexpectedly during a holiday when she started a painting diary to capture her experiences - an artistic habit that followed her home and never left. Since then, Jane has exhibited her work at local markets and has led art workshops for both children and adults, sharing her love of colour, nature, and mindful observation. Her mission is simple and heartfelt: to inspire others to notice the beauty in everyday life and to bring More Art into Your Life.You can explore her artwork at: Instagram: instagram.com/janedevriesjdvWebsite: www.janedevries.com
