The Tsavo Story was essential to understanding the place and I am grateful that it was the first book that I read about the area (many have been written).
As we in South Africa discuss "the elephant problem" yet again, it is instructive to note that the Sheldricks had intuitively decoded the elephant-human dynamic and elephants' role in the ecosystem more than thirty years ago. Tsavo is the story of the two great mammal species on the planet and their sometimes fraught relationship. The story continues.
I was delighted to learn that Dame Daphne still re-introduces orphan elephants into Tsavo to this day and that the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust continues to be vital to Tsavo's survival and funding.
Sometimes sad, but ultimately inspiring. A testimony to lives well lived. ( )
