He is a frequent visitor to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier National Park (The Peace Park) which lies in the remote northern regions of South Africa. It was after attending a course in Creative Writing that his talents in writing and photography grew from ideas into publications, and Eidelman published his first collection of photographs, Cape To Kalahari, in 2006.

Dr Irvine Eidelman has a keen interest in World War 2 and has now published his first novel, The Lost Hours, based on a secret, daring and audacious glider operation into France in the early hours of DDay 6th June 1944.
