About me

Like sands through the hourglass… so are the Days of Our Lives.

Nick de Jardine

Born in the summer of 1980, he was abandoned as a two-year-old in the dense jungle of Uganda to what seemed certain death.

But a colony of African Green monkeys came across him and adopted the real-life Tarzan as one of their own.

He learnt their mannerisms, became adept at climbing trees and lived on a diet of fruit, nuts and berries for the next nine years.

In 1991 a tribeswoman saw him scavenging for food with the chimps and reported it to the people in her village.

The naked boy was caught and taken to the Kamuzinda Christian Orphanage, 100 miles from the Ugandan capital Kampala, where he lived with the family of the orphanage manager.

For the last nineteen years, he has been taught to speak, has learned human ways – and as he began to utter his first words.

It was discovered he had a fine singing voice.
