Elephant dawn : the inspirational story of thirteen years living with elephants in the African wilderness
Pincott, Sharon2017
Books
In 2001, Sharon Pincott traded her privileged life as a high-flying corporate executive to start a new one with the Presidential Elephants of Zimbabwe. She was unpaid, untrained, self-funded and arrived with the starry-eyed idealism of most foreigners during early encounters with Africa. For thirteen years - the worst in Zimbabwe's volatile history - this intrepid Australian woman lived in the Hwange bush fighting for the lives of these elephants, forming an extraordinary and life-changing bond with them. Powerfully moving, 'Elephant Dawn' is a celebration of love, courage and honour amongst our greatest land mammals.
