Here it is CHF 24.90 + postal exp. = R400 + postal exp.
According to today's Forex rate that should be R350!

Sorry, I wrote the amount in Rands wrongly 0*\

In any case, it is R297 in SA or maybe less at a supermarket ;-)

Yup, just checked my copy. Was R297 at Exclusive. So it is cheaper. And you don’t have to pay for postage.

Finished reading this book last night.

It was so-so. Not overly impressed.
It was interesting to read about behind the scenes of a private reserve and the struggle against poaching etc
But there was too much anthropomorphisms. "The elephant came to tell me she was ok with my new fella" etc. "The elephant came to visit on the anniversary of Laurence's death"
Call me a cynic, but an elephant is a wild animal. Maybe we have a deeper connection with animals, but am not convinced that they are able to interact with us on this level. -O-

Just my 2c.
