Timeline
When she was six, Dodwell’s family returned to live in London, England. She was educated at Southover Manor School, Lewes, and Beechlawn College, Oxford.
Dodwell's nine books have been translated into five other languages. She has also made three television films and more than forty radio documentaries for BBC Radio 4, has lectured at the Royal Geographical Society, London, the Royal Scottish Geographical Society, Edinburgh, the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C., and the Explorers Club of New York City. Her three television films for the BBC are River Journey – Waghi (1984, BAFTA award), Black Pearls of Polynesia (1991) and African Footsteps – Madagascar (1996).
Altogether, by 1997 she had visited some eighty different countries. Together with Delia Akeley, Mary Kingsley, Florence Baker, and Alexandrine Tinné, she was one of the five subjects of a book by Margo McLoone published that year, Women explorers in Africa (1997).
She married Stephen Hobbs in 1991. In 1994, she was reported to own a flat in London and a small farm in Oxfordshire, but said that her ideal home was a timber house without electricity in the Valley of Geysers, Kamchatka, belonging to a bear-tracker she had met there in 1992. In 2009, she made a documentary for BBC Radio 4 on indigenous culture in Ethiopia. After her husband's death, she explored living with her widowed sister in Gloucestershire, appearing in an episode of the BBC's "Escape to the Country." She now lives on a farm, but still spends much of her time in Africa.
In 1990, she was appointed as an Attaché at the London Consulate of the Republic of Madagascar, continuing with this until 2005. In 1995 she established a charity called the Dodwell Trust, to help Madagascar's people, chiefly in the areas of education, family health, and sustainable development.
Dennis Hackett, writing a television review in The Times in October 1984, said –
Her first job was as an interior designer. In 1975, she went on holiday to Africa with a girlfriend and two men. The men stole their jeep, leaving the women stranded until they found two wild horses to ride. Her friend returned home, but Dodwell stayed in Africa for three years, travelling by horse, elephant and camel. During this time she spent seven weeks going down the Congo River in a dug-out canoe. After travelling twenty thousand miles around Africa, between 1975 and 1978, Dodwell returned to England and wrote a book about her African experiences, Travels with Fortune. However, she found home life boring and went on to other explorations. Her second major expedition was to Papua New Guinea, travelling by horse and canoe, in 1980 to 1981, and her later travels have included Turkey, China, Madagascar and Siberia, and a seven thousand mile flight by microlight across West Africa. She was arrested in Gonbad and Kurdistan.
