Once described by the actress, Joanna Lumley, as "the man with no
fear", Tristan Voorspuy spent his whole life living up to the
legend. Early stints in Northern Ireland and Germany with the Blues
and Royals regiment were but a precursor to a life defined by his
love of Africa, a life cut tragically short in 2017 on his beloved
game reserve, Sosian. From his epic motorbike ride from Cairo to
Cape Town, to extraordinary wildlife encounters and many
death-defying light aircraft near misses, Life on the Edge paints a
picture of a man determined to live life to the full. It is also
the story of compassion, conservation and, ultimately, tragedy. In
the last two decades of his life, Voorspuy transformed the
overgrazed and drought-blighted Sosian ranch in Northern Kenya into
a celebrated game reserve, acclaimed tourist destination and
successful cattle ranch. True to form, it was whilst defending this
property that an unarmed Tristan, on horseback, was gunned down and
killed, a murder that sent shockwaves around the world.
