Sam Watson

From the hills of Northern England, Sam first travelled the Sahara Desert at age seven, and it stole his heart. Since then he has lived in various locations in Africa and the Middle East, and in the process mapped areas of the Sahara, Middle East, and Kenya. He has worked in desert search and rescue, as well as for various conservation projects including the Kenya Wildlife Service and Born Free Foundation. He is happiest when overlanding in one of his three battered Land Rovers—Elsa, Tusker, and Bumblebee. Based in Egypt and the UAE, he spends most of his time exploring the remote corners of the Sahara and Arabia. Sam is also a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and a member of the Royal Institute of Navigation.
