Welcome to this story site!

Here you will find stories about elephants, about nature, about conservation and about the people living in elephant habitat. 

The short stories are based on real experiences in the lands where wild elephants walk.

They are also about how life, its challenges and difficulties can unfold wonderfully – if you dare to listen to your heart and follow your dreams.

Be inspired. Life is an endless discovery.

CONSERVATION! How do we protect what is so precious? As safari lodges welcome visitors from all over the globe, awareness of conservation issues grow. Yet, protecting only the wildlife is not far reaching –  additional measures are needed. With COMPASSION for the people living on the fringes of wildlife areas and COMPREHENSION for their CHALLENGES, solutions are being found. Supporting these COMMUNITIES is key! By empowering people with essential resources to live a life of dignity, they can once again CONNECT with the land and CHERISH their natural heritage – just as their ancestors honoured their kingdom lands with vast herds of roaming wildebeest, buffalo, zebra… with the big cats following in their wake. Let us listen to their story.

Wildlife corridors and migratory paths are vital! Thankfully to conservation measures and increased awareness, elephant populations are expanding in some areas. However, as human settlements also grow, more conflicts are to be expected. For the survival of our planet’s iconic land mammal, we must learn to coexist! By protecting the land, crisscrossed with millions of ancient elephant paths, we are protecting so much more than we can imagine… for these giants are the leaders in a vast web of species, all linked together. And let’s not forget that we humans are a fragment of this very same matrix. We are all connected!

In today’s world wide web, we hear immediately about human atrocities and environmental disasters. We feel so small, so insignificant. With all the current chaos, it’s sometimes hard to believe in a better world. But social media also offers a way to connect with like-minded kindred spirits. When we realise we are more, when we dare to believe that humanity is changing towards a world of more peace, more care, more love for all creatures, big and small… things start to shift.  Belong to a movement where we inspire each other and raise our energy to vibrate all over planet Earth until we reach a monumental turning point. Be a ripple in the ocean that creates change. Let’s unite!

Feel inspired?

Yet nature’s vibration is also soothing –  it rejuvenates the soul and calms the mind.
It’s our re-set button.

A Tale of Conservation and Courage

I am delighted to have been given permission to re-post this recent gripping story of a snared elephant by Cathy Buckle, an acclaimed writer, blogger and author. 


Cathy has been writing ‘Letters from Zimbabwe’ to her family and friends for 24 years. Her short emails have highlighted the difficulties of Zimbabwe’s dire situation, including the country’s corruption, land scandals, inflation, power cuts, lack of healthcare and many other distressing circumstances. But they also show the resilience of ordinary Zimbabweans and the beauty of the country’s wilderness and its caring people.

This story indirectly reflects how poverty also affects the well-being of wildlife. It’s a cycle of decline that we must stop… for the sake of ALL living things…

Give a Girl HOPE, a VOICE, CHOICE and a CHANCE

When you’re born a girl in most African countries, you have very little control over your life and future. And both can be harsh: poverty, abuse, lack of resources, gender discrimination, nowhere to turn for help and very few options to improve your situation.  Being considered “less than ..” stunts your potential.

Read how my good friend Priscilla Plummer is enabling girls in Southern Africa to thrive. Priscilla is a founding member of an organisation that creates safe spaces to empower and educate girls, believing that everyone deserves the opportunity to live a life of dignity!

The Power of Creative Visualisation

This is a truly mind-blowing and inspiring story of how your thoughts can lead you to exactly what your mind is toying with! A decision is made and we are beamed there… just like on the Star Trek ‘holodeck’… only it doesn’t happen quite so fast. It can be a scary thought if you focus your attention mainly on a negative future. This story should encourage you to keep your thoughts on the positive and pleasant side of life, because we are constantly shaping and creating our future. So be aware of what you think…!

Seeing from a different Eye

Have you ever noticed how your thoughts can stop you from moving forward in life, from pushing towards what you really want? So often we have preconceived ideas about what is expected of us. But they can also limit us!

The bare facts are all around us and we believe that this is what we are given to work with. Life has taught me otherwise, but I too have a tendency to forget, to lose faith, to fear the unknown, to listen what people around me are saying and my confidence drops.
Yet if you dare to jump out of your box, you can choose to have more meaning in your life. Be brave! It’s worth the ride!

A Dream is Born, but do Dreams come true?

Seeing Elephant for the first time awakened a deep desire to immerse myself in the wildernesses of our earth. To soak in the beauty of nature with all my senses – to witness wild animals moving freely, to hear their songs, to smell the fragrances, to feel the vibrations. My journey began a long time ago and I am only now beginning to understand the messages I have received over the years. The whispers in my head are bursting to be spoken. It’s time to speak up and give a voice to these beautiful giants that roam the land.
