Daphne Sheldrick's most successful love story, "An African Love Story: Love, Life and Elephants", is an incredible narrative by Africa's leading conservationist. A typical daily schedule for Daphne includes rescuing baby elephants from poachers and finding homes for orphaned elephants, while simultaneously fighting against the threat of poaching for the ivory trade.
"An African Love Story" is the stunning autobiography of her life. It tells two stories: one is the extraordinary love story that blossomed when Daphne fell in love with Tsavo National Park and its renowned warden, David Sheldrick. The second is the story of Daphne and David's love, who dedicated their lives to rescuing orphaned elephants, initially losing every infant under two years of age, until Daphne finally managed to invent the first milk formula that would keep them alive.
Daphne Sheldrick spent her entire life in Kenya. For over 25 years, she and her husband, David, the famed founder of the vast Tsavo National Park, raised and rehabilitated into the wild orphans from many different wildlife species, including elephants, rhinos, buffalos, zebras, and other smaller animals. In 2006, she was appointed as Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire by the Queen.
