Anthropologist & Naturalist
Growing up in Kenya with her zoologist father and author mother (The Elephant Family Book), Saba’s rich experience of African wildlife, combined with her degree in Anthropology, make her one of the BBC’s most popular documentary presenters. Credits for Wild include: The Miracle Lioness, Namibia’s Desert Giants, Escape the Elephant, Running with Reindeer, Search for Tigers and Search for Polar Bears and 2007’s 3 part series on Hidden Africa (Angola, The Camores and the Central African Republic). Saba also co-presents the BBC's ever-popular Big Cat Diary and 2007 sees transmission of Rhino Nights on Animal Planet, a documentary produced and presented by Saba.
Saba is an ardent conservationist and trustee of her father’s charity Save The Elephants and is currently filming a 3 part BBC series about their work. Saba is also working on her autobiography – a “My Family and Other Animals” insight into her African childhood.
