George Adamson MBE (3 February 1906 – 20 August 1989), also known as the ''Baba ya Simba'' ("Father of Lions" in Swahili),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=George Adamson, Friend of lions... Father of Lions )〕 was a British wildlife conservationist and author. He and his wife, Joy Adamson, are best known through the movie ''Born Free'' and best-selling book with the same title, which is based on the true story of Elsa the Lioness, an orphaned lioness cub they had raised and later released into the wild. Several other films have been made based on Adamson's life.
==Life==
George Alexander Graham Adamson was born 3 February 1906 in Etawah, then British India. Educated at Dean Close School, Cheltenham, England, he first visited Kenya in 1924. After a series of jobs, which included time as a gold prospector, goat trader, and professional safari hunter, he joined Kenya's game department in 1938〔 and was Senior Game Warden of the Northern Frontier District. Six years later, he married Joy.〔 It was in 1956 that he raised the lioness cub, Elsa, who became the subject of the 1966 feature film ''Born Free''.
Adamson retired as a game warden in 1961 and devoted himself to his many lions. In 1970, he moved to the Kora National Reserve in northern Kenya to continue the rehabilitation of captive or orphaned big cats for eventual reintroduction into the wild. George and Joy separated in 1970, but continued to spend Christmas holidays together until she was murdered on 3 January 1980.
