For more than a decade, Sharon Pincott has lived in the bush among The Presidential Elephants of Zimbabwe: a celebrated clan of wild elephants that she is devoted to and will do anything to protect. Snaring of wildlife was rife, and when land invaders claimed the area where Sharon's elephant friends roamed, she went into battle for their land and their lives - while fighting for her own wellbeing, in her homeland of choice. But, as she soon discovered first-hand, the beauty and wonder of wild Zimbabwe had a dark foreboding side. She treasured escapades with friends, both human and animal, in spectacular remote places. In time, Sharon formed extraordinary relationships with wild elephants, having learned to know them intimately. It was a startling contrast to her former life. Eventually, she abandoned her life of privilege and luxury and moved to Zimbabwe - a country in turmoil - to live and work among elephants on land bordering Hwange National Park. She was a high-flying Information Technology specialist Down Under, but now she dreamed of working with Africa's wildlife.
