Peter Ameisenhaufen was born in Munich on May 5, 1895, as the first child of the explorer, big-game hunter, and safari guide Wilhelm Ameisenhaufen (b.1860 in Dortmund, d.1914 in Dar es Salaam) and his wife Julia (b. 1873 in Dublin, d. 1895 in Munich).
Wilhelm Ameisenhaufen and Julia Hall met each other on a safari to Ngoro-Ngoro Crater Julia, at that time a famous concert pianist, was participating in the hunting excursion as the guest of the British governor, and she fell in love at once with the safari guide. The wedding took place after only a few months, and shortly thereafter the couple -at the wish of Julia, who no longer wanted to endure the unsettled life in Africa- returned to Germany, where Wilhelm took a position in Munich
