An African Love Story: Love, Life and Elephants

Daphne Sheldrick's best-selling autobiography, An African Love Story: Love, Life and Elephants, is an incredible book from one of Africa's greatest conservationists, and the founder of the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust.

The first person to successfully raise newborn African elephants, Dame Daphne Sheldrick saved countless wild animals from death during a lieftime dedicated to conservation. In this indelible and deeply heartfelt memoir, Daphne tells of her remarkable career as a conservationist and introduces us to a whole host of orphans — including Bushy, a liquid-eyed antelope, and the majestic elephant Eleanor.

Daphne also shares the incredible human story of her relationship with David Sheldrick, the famous Tsavo National Park warden whose death inspired the formation of the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and the Trust's pioneering Orphans’ Project in Nairobi. From Daphne's tireless campaign to preserve Kenya's wildlife to the astonishing creatures she befriended along the way, An African Love Story: Love, Life, and Elephants is alive with compassion and humour, providing rare insight into the life of one of the most fascinating women to have graced this world.
