Benedict Allen is one of the most popular and richest Author who was born on March 1, 1960 in Macclesfield, England, United Kingdom.

Allen crossed the northeast Amazon basin in 1983, going 600 miles on foot and by dug out canoe, facing an attempt on his life by renegade gold miners, starvation, and malaria along the way (a trip he described in his 1985 book, Mad White Giant). This incident is featured on the I Shouldn’t Be Alive episode “Alone in the Amazon” and was aired in 2010. In West Papua and Papua New Guinea he flew from the Obini community in Irian Jaya. He participated in the six-week male initiation ceremony of the Niowra tribe (Into the Crocodile’s Nest). In Siberut and Sumatra he investigated the “Orang pendek” ape man, via the Mentawai of Siberut and the Kubu of Sumatra (“Hunting the Gugu”).

After publishing five books describing his various lone journeys across the least explored regions of the Amazon, New Guinea and Sumatra, in the mid 1990s Allen went on to develop the technique of self-filming with a camcorder, becoming the first (and for many years the only) television adventurer – through such programmes as The Skeleton Coast, which depicted a first full traverse by foot of the Namib Desert.
