Elephants are arguably Africa¿s most charismatic animals, and among the biggest drawcards to our game reserves. While the burgeoning game-park industry may be increasing our access to these magnificent creatures, rising human-elephant encounters are an inevitable outcome ¿ sometimes, sadly, fatal. Such encounters could likely have been avoided had those involved understood elephant behaviour, and particularly how these intelligent animals interface with traffic through their territory. This book describes elephant family life, from rearing of infants to establishing dominance within a herd; it unpacks regular elephant behaviour, the matriarchal system, the particular dangers of males in musth, and many other aspects of their lives. Most of all, it provides guidelines for ensuring safe and enjoyable encounters with these majestic animals. This is an essential guide for those planning visits to reserves: aside from the interest factor, being able to read the tell-tale signs may just save lives.

About the product 207 x 147 mm; pictorial wrappers; pp. 64; colour photographs; line drawings. Near-fine condition."Most visitors are lucky enough to see the elephants, and leave the park satisfied. However, from experience we know that is is so much more rewarding to observe elephants when we understand something about them - and the more we learn about them, the more fascinating observing them becomes. The aim of this book is to provide visitors to Addo with detailed but easy to understand information on elephants in general and the Addo elephants in particular, and to give tips on how to observe and identify elephants and how to interpret their behaviour. We hope that those who use this book will find that it significantly enhances their enjoyment of their visit to Addo and their time with the elephants."

  The Derelict House: Elephants In My Garden: Lesley Cripps Thomson: Inscribed | Autographed Publisher: Just Don Productions Publishing, Durban Edition: 2008 – First Edition Binding: Softcover ISBN: 978-1-920169-90-9 Pages: 244 with black & white photograph and illustrations   Extra Information Condition – Good. Slight wear to cover, edges and corners, otherwise really clean with tight binding Language: English.   The Derelict House: Elephants in My Garden describes Elephants breaking down walls, a hyena sharing a fire with the night guard to keep warm, hippos fighting, armless monkeys bringing their young to be admired by the author. This book is a kaleidoscope of wild animals, strange and often eccentric tourists, the trials and tribulations of running a poorly equipped lodge in a remote wilderness area and the laughter and tears of working with and living alongside staff from a different background and culture.   Written with great compassion, this is Lesley Cripps Thomson’s story of how she forges a bond with staff who do not want to be told what to door how to do it by a woman – and the hardships they have had to live with, including illness and poverty. She tells of the good times they have had and how, in a crisis, they all pull together.   The Derelict House: Elephants in My Garden, also describes the consequences of interference with nature on the environment, the devastating effect of 9/11 on their American guests, the joy of guests seeing wildlife up close for the first time and the sadness of leaving it all behind   Beautifully illustrated, this charming book brings Africa to life, in all her colours and moods   Please note that we refer the right to close our auctions at any time Please refer to all images for condition, as this form an integral part of the description Payment to be processed within 2 days of auction closing Item will be posted on the first Saturday following receipt of payment.

The romantic forests, and the still more romantic elephants, capture the hearts and imagination of all who come to know them. Margo Mackay has caught their very essence and shares both her knowledge and love of nature with the reader, telling all the facts and also the stories and the legends that have evolved around the Knysna forests.". 136 pp.

 Book in great condition - Actually looks new and unread to me - 280 pages.   >>>    A true story filled with both joy and foreboding, this portrait of Zimbabwe and its wildlife comes from an Australian woman who went as a tourist to Africa and then decided to leave her old life and live permanently in tumultuous Zimbabwe to work with elephants on land bordering Hwange National Park. Not a scientist, she wanted to observe elephant interaction informally, and this moving memoir describes how, in time, she and the elephants developed affectionate relationships with each other. As the beauty and wonder of the park became increasingly threatened by illegal snaring of wildlife and land invaders claimed the territory where her elephant herd roamed, she went into battle for the animals—and this compelling account reveals how she put her  own survival at risk.     * Rhodesia * *N.B.*  If you buy more than one book from me you only pay R 6 postage on each additional book – See what else I have to offer, it might be worth your while.
