Last year, The Sunday New York Times published Sara Gruen’s book review of ‘Elephant Company,’ by Vicki Constantine Croke.
The book features the true story of Lt. Col. James Howard Williams, known as Elephant Bill, who had a deep attachment to animals of all kinds, and an uncanny ability to communicate with them. It started with a job as an elephant wallah with the Bombay Burmah Trading Corporation, Sara wrote. 'This is the story of friendship, loyalty and breathtaking bravery that transcends species.' Sara says, 'It was the sight of thick scars around one elephant’s ankles that led Williams to discover how wild elephants were trapped and 'broken'. The process was known as 'kheddaring', a horrifying ordeal that lasted however long it took to instill terror, destroy an elephant’s spirit and guarantee absolute compliance. Williams was determined to put an end to the practice.' I lead Photo Safaris to Tanzania every September. We experience massive herds of elephants in the wild in Tarangire National Park. During the dry season (when I go) the park has over 3,000 elephants in residence.
Join me on my 2015 Photo Safari where you can photograph elephants in their natural surroundings – where they belong. Go to2014 Bob Madden Tanzania Photo Safari for a slide show on the 2014 trip. And go to http://www.bobmadden.com/workshops to sign up.
