In all the world, there is nowhere else like this.

Here, in this place men call Kenya, sky and forest, water and grass give life and protection to us all.

For these are the wild lands.

The kingdom of the elephants.

And in all this place, nowhere is more beautiful than the white mountain.

Elephants have walked in the shadow of the white mountain for generations beyond counting.

Here there is food, space, and companionship.

It is a place of peace.

And it is my home.

I have lived here for almost 60 years, mostly on my own.
