The Good Karma Refuge for Elephants

When Rob Forbes returns to his childhood home of Zimbabwe after decades away, he doesn’t plan to stay long. A big job back in London awaits. But he finds himself questioning his priorities amid the open-hearted exuberance of people who have so little compared to his wealthy colleagues; a powerful reconnection to the animals and wild places he loved as a child, and his growing friendship with Tibetan guru and neighbour, Rinpoche.

What if it is possible to live with the same ineffable lightness as the intriguing lama? Why is the joy of ubuntu – community – felt in the most improbable places? And could an orphaned elephant calf change his life?

Nature, wellbeing and transcendent wisdom are woven into this compelling personal drama from the author of the globally bestselling Dalai Lama’s Cat series.
