I once stayed in an amazing place called Elephant Watch Camp, an eco-hotel in the middle of Samburu. The buildings were made out of trees the elephants knocked over and water was gathered from the well. It was lovely and felt like part of the environment. Probably the most special place I've ever been to.

Iain taught us not only about elephants and conservation but also about joy. We all feel so grateful to have shared our lives with him… in fact I feel immense gratitude to all of you. I send you the biggest, strongest hug I have in my heart and all my love .

Being with all of you - the elephant lovers - was priceless. I'm so grateful to know you and have you in my life. Starting this journey last year enriched my life and brought a purpose to my job. Thank you for being who you are and for being so inspirational for me and many others.
