Myles Turner (1921–1984) was a warden of the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania from 1956 to 1972.
In 1956, he married and accepted a job at the newly formed Serengeti National Park.
He later worked as an advisor to the Masai Mara Game Reserve in Kenya, which borders the Serengeti National Park.
He is buried in the Masai Mara Reserve, just a few steps away from the Tanzanian border.
His autobiography, My Serengeti Years, was published posthumously, and is a collection of stories and mental images of life in Africa in earlier times.
