I started reading this book to take my mind off the untimely death of my adult son . My heart is broken but I found courage , love and hope in this beautiful book ! Thank you for living this awesome life !!!

Thjs non fiction story is magnificent. Funny in parts, sad in others. Such a wonderful telling of one animal reserve’s efforts to save animals in danger of poaching and in danger of life itself from losing a mother or suffering with illness. Specifically this book tells of the daily adventures of caring for Elephants, Rhinos and Hippos. I wanted it to never end in it’s telling of life on the Zululand Preserve. It is a truly heartwarming account

Very well written, takes you right into the African bush.. very educational about elephants and rhinos and the horrors and evil of poaching.. but you will fall in love with all the animals taken in by the Thula Thula sanctuary.. made me smile, and broke my heart..but now I know elephants are so intelligent and feel love and emotion like humans..
