Sharon Pincott Discusses the Presidential Elephants of Zimbabwe

Travel Africa’s Kate Eckman spoke to Sharon Pincott, author of Battle for the President’s Elephants: Life, Lunacy and Elation in the African Bush.

In the following interview, Pincott talks about the reasons why she was drawn to the elephants and explains her system for naming and identifying the 20 different families that she works with.

Kate Eckman sits down with Sharon Pincott, author of The Elephants and I, to hear her personal story of hope and heartbreak while trying to protect the Presidential Elephants of Zimbabwe.

Sharon Pincott may not have any biological children of her own, but she serves as a nurturing, loving and protective mother to more than 400 African elephants who are known as the ‘Presidential Elephants of Zimbabwe’.

Although this large herd of wild elephants comprises more than 20 family groups, Pincott can recognise and name each individual.
