After the death of a Zimbabwean friend, Sharon Pincott abandoned her career as an Information Technology Consultant 'Down Under' to live amongst the elephants of Africa. So began her life in wild Africa and her love affair with 'The Presidential Elephants of Zimbabwe'. Instead of keeping a daily journal, Sharon wrote regular narratives vividly capturing her day-to-day life in the African bush. Surrounded by wildlife, she studied the elephants, getting to know them individually on land bordering Hwange National Park in western Zimbabwe. These elephants quickly ranked amongst her closest companions. During her first three years monitoring and recording the lives of the elephant families, Sharon experienced all facets of life in the African bush, from the wonder and joy of the wildlife and wild places to the trials and tribulations of the same. Whilst witnessing the heart-breaking effect that Zimbabwe's decline in the early 2000s was having on the wild beauty surrounding her, she wrote of her new life - "In an elephant's rumble and in the feel of living ivory, I have found a life of meaning from which there can be no escape." This is a chronological collection of the true tales that Sharon recorded from her home in the Zimbabwean bush. Experience life in untamed Africa through these extraordinary accounts. You too may be tempted.
