Born in South Africa, Donald Schultz is a world-renowned venom expert, film maker, writer, photographer, conservationist and extreme adventurer and has been in the public eye for most of his life. Donald started to work with reptiles at the age of 13 and was fortunate to have an internship at the world-famous Fitzsimons Snake Park, where he received a sound schooling in herpetology. By Donald giving demonstrations and spending endless hours studying snake behavior, catching venomous snakes became second nature, and his fascination with these creatures became the bedrock of his career. Donald’s career and passion has grown beyond snakes to include all wild animals which lead to the numerous television shows, specials and independent films with special attention to the conservation of our wild life on this planet.

Donald is also an extreme athlete, having quickly ascended the ranks in such disciplines as BASE jumping, wing suiting and rebreather diving, all to push the limits of his physical and mental endurance, while having fun doing it.
