Reviews
""Dulek really 'gets' South Africa, and I say that with admiration as someone who was born on the continent, reported on it as a journalist in the darkest days of apartheid, lived here for 47 years in both bush and cities, and still find it an enigma. That enigma is, ironically, often the romance. Africa is absolutely magnificent, but it also has a harsh reality; hunger, crime, poaching, etc. are flip sides of the coin. To grasp that, and still love the place, is the key to understanding one of the most fascinating continents, which Sitting with Elephants wonderfully illustrates."" - Graham Spence, co-author, The Elephant Whisperer, The Last Rhinos, and Saving the Last Rhinos
