Reviews for Elephant Dawn: The Inspirational Story of Thirteen Years Living with Elephants in the African Wilderness
This book is a real eye opener to what dangers the volunteers in Zimbabwe face, how beautiful elephants are, the bonds that can be forged between human and pachyderm and sadly, how heart breaking it is when an elephant that is virtually a human family member is ripped away. A great read - have tissues on standby.
