About the Author:
Born and raised on the picturesque farm of Wintershoek in South Africa, Louis van Tonder’s childhood is filled with adventures, close encounters with wildlife, and the unique experiences of rural life. From racing pigeons and winning prestigious competitions to emotional connections with family and friends, Tihêhô’s early years are rich with memories that shaped his identity. His years in the military also left both psychological and physical scars.
As he transitions from the idyllic farm life to the complexities of adulthood, Tihêhô worked as a professional hunting guide for a number of years. Disgusted by the unethical practices of the industry, he faced the challenge of continuing in the career for practical reasons. Moving to America brought cultural shock, the strains of adaptation, and the bittersweet experiences of divorce and separation from his children. Yet, through these trials, Louis discovered resilience and strength, finding new beginnings with his beloved wife, Terri.
Together, they build a fulfilling life on a ranch in Arizona, surrounded by friends and enriched by their business, African Safaris and Travel (https://www.africansafaris.travel). Their adventures abroad and the enchanting beauty of African wildlife become a significant part of their story. Through surgeries, pain, and uncertainty, Tihêhô learns profound life lessons, and the couple’s love and laughter endure as a testament to their unwavering bond.
The book beautifully intertwines the nostalgia of Tihêhô’s (Louis van Tonder’s) African roots with the American dream, highlighting the importance of family, heritage, and the indomitable human spirit. Africa to Arizona is not just a memoir but a celebration of life’s trials and triumphs, reminding readers that every moment is worth living fully, with hearts wide open to whatever comes next.
