The Elephants of Thula Thula

More gripping and poignant tales of extraordinary elephants and the woman who saved them: the bestselling follow-up memoir to ‘An Elephant in My Kitchen’ by Parisienne-turned-South African game reserve-owner Françoise Malby-Anthony. Founded with her late husband Lawrence in 1998, the Thula Thula rescue centre is home to a beloved herd of elephants, headed by the unforgettable elephant matriarch, Frankie. Full of animal characters, including Thabo the lovelorn rhino; Baby Jo the hippo; June the baby giraffe; Daisy the meerkat; Savannah the cheetah; and more. Capturing the highs and lows of caring for the reserve’s residents, Françoise is then faced with even greater and heart-rending troubles when Frankie becomes ill and receives an ultimatum from the authorities of either expanding the reserve or seeing some of the herd culled. Battling the pandemic, poachers and a threat from a mining company, Françoise must draw on resilience and wisdom to save her herd. Compelling and moving, follow the next chapter in the Thula Thula story.
