When South African conservationist Lawrence Anthony was asked to accept a herd of 'rogue' elephants on his Thula Thula game reserve in South Africa, his commonsense told him to refuse. But he was the herd's last chance of survival - notorious escape artists, they would all be killed if Lawrence wouldn't take them. He agreed, but before arrangements for the move could be co...more

I'm starting to get bored with the various "whisperers." Especially since most of them don't do any actual whispering to the animals in question.

So I wish this book had a different title.

So I wish this book had a different title.

That aside, this is a fantastic book about some of nature's most beautiful and amazing animals. (I LOVE elephants!)

Lawrence Anthony runs a nature preserve in South Africa called Thula Thula. One day, he gets a call from someone offering him a herd of nine elephants for the preserve. The herd is apparently "rogue." They hate people. They've escaped several times from their current home. And the matriarch thinks nothing of grabbing an electric wire, and taking the 8,000 volts of electricity long enough to short the wire or tear it down to clear a path for escape. If Anthony refuses to take the elephants, they'll all be shot. So he says yes.

By the time the elephants arrive at Thula Thula, the herd is down to seven. Their previous owners shot the matriarch and her baby so they wouldn't "cause any more trouble." (You learn later that it's not the elephants who are the problem.) And the herd hates humans even more than it did before.

The elephants escape Thula Thula within 24 hours of their arrival. There's a struggle to recapture them, so that people in nearby villages won't kill them. And when they finally get back to Thula Thula, Anthony has to practically live with them to prevent them from escaping again. He needs to teach them to like (or at least tolerate) people without domesticating them - a difficult balance, but he succeeds.

Anthony is then offered another troubled elephant - one who is all alone because the rest of her herd has been shot or sold, and who fears humans. He has to start the process all over again.

It's amazing how the elephants change - and how quickly they do.

I fell in love with the elephants. I fell in love with Max, Anthony's Staffordshire terrier who has no problem taking on a wild boar or a cobra (he kills the cobra). And I really respect Anthony for his knowledge of the wildlife and his general goodness.

If there's anything seriously wrong with this book, I can't find it.(less)

"The Elephant Whisperer" follows the life of a hard-working conservationist in South Africa for a couple of years, during which time he establishes a preternatural relationship with a herd of wild African elephants.

If you are interested in animals, nature, true stories of incredible interactions between animals and humans and certain conservation issues that South Africa faces, this is a 10 star read. I read that the author of this book recently passed away and that the elephants he interacted with for many years instinctively traveled a very long way on foot over many, many miles to come and visit him at the place where he passed away.

This is indeed an intriguing tale for anyone interested in African animals and particularly elephants. We are introduced not only to these wonderful animals but the trials and tribulations of life on a private reserve.

Lawrence Anthony the owner of Thula Thula a conservationist game sanctuary in Zululand, South Africa is offered a herd of rogue elephants if he takes possession of them immediately. He agrees not knowing what is in store for him. The elephants prove to be troublesome on their first arrival, quickly figuring out how to escape and eluding easy capture, but Anthony is unwilling to give up on them which would be a death sentence and works to gain their trust.

The reader learns of the many problems typical on a game sanctuary, as poachers, unexpected crocodiles, black mambos invading bedrooms, animal deaths, floods, brush fires and local tribal politics. It is extremely taxing work which can be quite potentially dangerous. While clearly Anthony thinks a great deal about his abilities and his mission, I cannot help but respect him for his sincerity and passion for his work and the animals in his care.

Have no doubt about it that the star of the show are the elephants and Anthony’s struggle to save their lives and to get to know them as individuals without taking away their integrity as wild animals is heart warming. Nana , the matriarch is a wise and caring leader who makes valuable choices for the herd as a whole. The reader is introduced to each member of the herd and given an opportunity to understand their individual personalities.

The writing while not great literature is an easy read and enjoyable:

“At dusk, animals that lived in the sun went off to sleep wherever they felt safest. The landscape emptied, but not for long. It was soon repopulated under the light of the African stars by creatures of the night. Warthogs gave way to bush pigs with short, stiletto tusks; tawny and martial eagles were replaced by giant eagle owls that scouted the skies on silent wings, swooping down on vondos, plump oversized bush rats whose sluggish vulnerability is countered only by its prolific breeding capacity.”

I would recommend this book to any animal lover.(less)

Being an animal enthusiast I am always inclined to eagerly pick up a book with an animal at the center of the story so there was no surprise that The Elephant Whisperer was found in my hands.

Lawrence Anthony, a South African nature conservationist, invites the reader into the world of his game reserve, Thula Thula -which is in Zulu Land, Kwa-Zulu Natal South Africa (not far from where I live). As the title reads, his story is about his relationship with some "troublesome" elephants that leaves y...more

Then earlier this year, I learned of his death and the elephants' astonishing, 12-hour trek across the 5,000-acre, private Thula Thula Game Reserve to his residence, as if to pay him their last respects.

They taught me that all life forms are important to each ther in our common quest for happiness and survival. That there is more to life than just yourself, your own family, or your own kind.” Page 4 * Location 126 (Kindle version)

This is a story of a Game Ranger and “his” herd of Elephants. The Elephants are 'delinquent' when they are first brought to Thula Thula Game Reserve located in South Africa. Their delinquency is largely due to the atrocities that have been bestowed on them by the human race e.g. their extended family were hunted for their ivory. The original herd of 7 elephants are lead by their matriarch 'Nana' (as named by Lawrence) who will go to all extremes to ensure her herd is safe and well cared for, including escaping from game reserves. Due to their large size and subsequent fear factor elephants hold, they must be moved from their old reserve to a new one (Thula Thula) or risk being killed or 'put down'.

Enter Lawrence Anthony, Game Ranger and Conservationist. He happily agrees to the challenge; and so it starts the beginning of a beautiful and life long friendship between him and “his” herd. Whilst this friendship was not without its fair share of 'trust' issues to start with, eventually through Lawrence's patience, perseverance and the herd's acceptance - they became an integral part of Thula Thula and Lawrence’s life.

Having travelled myself to South Africa and witness these majestic creatures in the flesh - in my opinion this book does justice to these magnificent creatures. Lawrence - through his stories - is able to draw the reader a picture of love and devotion not only from human to elephant but vice versa. The last chapter of this book nicely sums up what he has learned from them and to be honest the Human Race has a lot to learn from them. For example, the human race could learn from their loyalty and devotion to one another; their instinct to protect one another; unconditional and unwavering love alongside respect for the 'elders' and towing the line to ensure the herd is able to firstly survive and most importantly (for me) not forgetting those who have passed on. There is a poignant story of a baby elephant who is not able to survive after birth and the “memorial” she is given by her mourning family who would still visit her bones – alluded to almost like an elephant burial ground. Elephants have extraordinary memories and this is shown to us throughout the book.

I cried with this book - which for me was a sign that the story was being so well told that I felt the emotion that author was feeling as he wrote.

There are other stories of other animals, including the family dogs, and of Zulu traditions/beliefs as well as the project to expand Thula Thula interwoven throughout - ultimately this is a book about the love and devotion between Lawrence and “his” herd - with some lessons along the way for humans to understand the respect these magnificent animals deserve - as well as our protection.

I remember reading 'My Family and Other Animals' by Gerald Durell many years ago (when I was 12) because we had to do a book review of an 'adult' book. I was mildly amused by it, but never really felt 'engaged' with it. I have always had a cat or two or three in my life, plus we had a dog at one stage, but it has really only been since we have fostering motherless kittens over the past couple of years that I understand the 'art' of communicating with animals. It took a while but it has surprised me how little kittens of 6-8 weeks old have such very individual personalities and how, as a family, we have become 'cat whisperers'. For each pair of kittens the 'socialisation' challenge is get them to purr! Once they purr when we touch them then we know we are on the right track to having potentially gorgeous pets.

Anyway I digress, but all this has made me much more interested in animal type books. So when Sarah at book club raved about a book that her niece had given her about a man who had saved a herd of elephants I was, surprisingly, interested. Having been exposed to elephants in India also piqued my interest.

Elephants are truly incredible animals. I won't say anymore about the wonder of elephants because you need to discover it for yourself by reading this book so you too can be amazed. Lawrence Anthony has spent his whole life in South Africa and its surrounding countries, living mostly in the rural hinterland where he has built up a close and empathetic relationship with the land, the animals and the native Africans. He owns and runs the Thula Thula wildlife reserve in South Africa and finds himself landed with the monumental task of taking on a herd of wild elephants that are under threat of being shot. The enormity of this task is seen in the first 76 pages of the book which focus on getting the elephants safely corralled on the reserve behind 8000 volt fences. From then on Anthony's relationship with the elephants slowly develops and the reader learns a lot about the majesty of these animals. As well as life on a wildlife reserve - the other animals, gaining the trust and confidence of the native Africans, the development of the reserve as a tourist destination. It is all a most enticing mix. And I now want to visit a wildlife reserve in Africa!

As an aside the author was involved in rescuing the animals in the Baghdad Zoo after the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003. And that is another book in itself. He was gone from Thula Thula for six months, and not once during that time did the elephants come to the Lodge where Anthony and his wife lived. But on the day he returned to the reserve the elephants were waiting at the main entrance gates for him. How did they know? That is the magic...
