Catherine Bollon, 30, a beautiful French woman, arrived in Namibia in search of the wild horses. She married her great love, Daniel, the ‘lion man' in the midst of the desert and lived an idyllic life on a farm with two leopards and a lion. One fateful night everything she loved was taken away from her.

Daniel was imprisoned, the cats taken to a secret location. When Daniel was released, they started a new life in South Africa with a little lioness, whilst still battling for their other cats. Then tragedy hit them all. Catherine tells us her extraordinary story of love, loss and healing.
