After Her Parents Raised Her Around Wild Animals, The Real Life Mowgli Has All Grown Up

On A Book

So after spending the first few years of her life in Namibia, it would have definitely left a mark on the girl, right? Well, although ten years have passed since Tippi lived in Africa, the girl still remembers her time there very clearly and wrote a book based on it. She can still recall the wonderful times she spent with the animals and how the locals would often invite her for their celebratory events…

Her Book Of Africa

So for someone to live in the jungle and hang with all kinds of wild animals, it would be hard to forget the experience. So what did Tippi decide on doing? Well, she has now penned all her adventures down in a book called “Tippi: My Book of Africa”. All her extraordinary stories of the wonderful times she spent in the wild have been included here…

The Jungle Book

Growing up, we were all fascinated by the animals that we see on channels like Discovery and Animal Planet. We would dream about spending time with these animals and let our imaginations run wild. And while the majority of kids her age would be at home watching animated movies like ‘The Jungle Book’, for Tippi, it was her reality, her everyday life!

Too Brave, Too Cute

Even though there might be people who are skeptical about this little girl’s bond with the wild, but all the pictures are clear proof that it is not a hoax. She can clearly be seen touching and playing with animals that most of us consider harmful. How many little girls would be willing to sleep right next to a baby lion? It was 10 years ago so, the possibility for Photoshop or altering is also out of the question.

Having Fun

As kids, we all wish to have the biggest playground where we are given the liberty to do whatever we want to. To explore and go on adventures was the only thing that we would dream about every day. And lucky for Tippi, she did not even need any special playground. She did not have to look for a place to play hide and seek because the whole jungle was her playground.

No Need To Worry

And on top of all, even kids get rejected by their peers. As humans, we often choose the people we hang with, even at a young age. Tippi did not even have to worry about fitting in because the animals were all in love with her. She did not even have to look for other kids, Tippi could befriend an ostrich and ride around Africa. This experience is something none of us could relate with.
