Tiiu Lukk fell in love with Africa when she was on assignment as a foreign correspondent for ABC News. During her years there, Tiiu became intimately acquainted with the culture, people, politics, geography, and wildlife of South Africa. Her assignments took her from filming wildlife in KrugerNational Park, to covering the pursuit of rhino poachers in the Aberdares National Park of Kenya. Shepoled makoros through the Okavango Delta, and followed elephant trails, on foot, across the savannah.Since then, Tiiu has served as a naturalist and enrichment lecturer, most recently covering territory fromNamibia to East Africa. She has traveled to 115 countries around the world, to habitats ranging from themountains of the Drakensberg range, to the grasslands of Masai Mara, from the coral seas of Zanzibar,to the fjords of Alaska. Her interests range from the behavior of animals in the wild, to the dynamics of the interactions between humans, creatures, and the environment they have to share, to the art, architecture, and culture of the destinations she visits. Tiiu received her B.A. degree in Art from St. OlafCollege, and her M.S. degree from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. Her work onthe PBS anthropological film, “Trobriand Cricket,” earned her an Emmy Award.

Tiiu Lukk fell in love with Africa when she was on assignment as a foreign correspondent for ABC News. During her years there, Tiiu became intimately acquainted with the culture, people, politics, geography, and wildlife of South Africa. Her assignments took her from filming wildlife in KrugerNational Park, to covering the pursuit of rhino poachers in the Aberdares National Park of Kenya. Shepoled makoros through the Okavango Delta, and followed elephant trails, on foot, across the savannah.Since then, Tiiu has served as a naturalist and enrichment lecturer, most recently covering territory fromNamibia to East Africa. She has traveled to 115 countries around the world, to habitats ranging from themountains of the Drakensberg range, to the grasslands of Masai Mara, from the coral seas of Zanzibar,to the fjords of Alaska. Her interests range from the behavior of animals in the wild, to the dynamics of the interactions between humans, creatures, and the environment they have to share, to the art, architecture, and culture of the destinations she visits. Tiiu received her B.A. degree in Art from St. OlafCollege, and her M.S. degree from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. Her work onthe PBS anthropological film, “Trobriand Cricket,” earned her an Emmy Award.
