Conservation Africa

Sue Tidwell traveled to Tanzania enchanted by African wildlife—and deeply uneasy about hunting it. As a non-hunter, she never imagined she would be tagging along on her husband's three-week big game safari in remote Africa, much less tracking Cape buffalo—one of Africa's most dangerous game animals—through tall grass or waking in the middle of the night to the warning: "Honey, get ready to run."

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.

For 13 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.

In her enchanting memoir, Dr. Gladys Kalema-Zikusoka, Uganda’s first wildlife veterinarian, tells the remarkable story from her animal-loving childhood to her career protecting endangered mountain gorillas and other wild animals.
