The Elephants of Thula Thula
Author: Francoise Malby-Anthony
I had no idea when I requested to review this book that there were two prior books about the Thula Thula Game Reserve. I loved this book so much! I am definitely going to read the other two books!
The book isn't just about elephants. There are rhinos, monkeys, giraffes, a cheetah, even meerkats! But this book isn't just about the joys of witnessing these animals in the wild and running a game reserve that protects them. The game reserve has to deal with poachers, the pandemic, threats to their land, and a host of other concerns. This story relates the joy and the sorrows. I loved every word.
Readers who enjoy stories about wildlife, conservation and Africa will love this book. There were times I was elated or laughed, and times I wanted to cry while reading. It's a very real story about how the last 2 years made the preserve struggle and how they persevered through extreme circumstances.
Loved it!
