Elephant Dawn: The Inspirational Story of Thirteen Years Living with Elephants in the African Wilderness
In 2001, Sharon Pincott traded her privileged life as a high-flying corporate executive to start a new one with the Presidential Elephants of Zimbabwe. She was unpaid, untrained, self-funded, and arrived with the starry-eyed idealism of most foreigners during early encounters with Africa. For thirteen years-the worst in Zimbabwe's volatile history-this intrepid Australian woman lived in the Hwange bush fighting for the lives of these elephants, forming an extraordinary and life-changing bond with them.



Now remote from Robert Mugabe's rule, Sharon writes without restraint sequentially through the years, taking us on a truly unforgettable ride of hope and heartbreak, profound love and loss, adversity and new beginnings. This is the haunting, all-encompassing story we've been waiting for.



Powerfully moving, sometimes disturbing, and often very funny, Elephant Dawn is a celebration of love, courage, and honor amongst our greatest land mammals. With resilience beyond measure, Sharon earns the supreme right to call them family.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"An inspirational book full of adventure and emotions, showing true courage and determination of an exceptional woman who lived 13 years with elephants in Zimbabwe facing daily the adversity that only her passion for these gentle giants could overcome." —Francoise Malby-Anthony, wife of the late Lawrence Anthony of The Elephant Whisperer, Thula Thula Game Reserve, South Africa

"After 13 years living among 500 wild elephants, Pincott is telling her story in Elephant Dawn . . . the locals called Pincott Thandeka Mandlovu, which means ‘much-loved Mother Elephant’, and believed she had special magic . . . With more and more elephants being killed every year, perhaps magic is the only thing that can save them. And the selfless efforts of people like Pincott." —Forbes Woman Africa
