All The Way Home

Richard and Bookey Peek hadn’t planned on adopting a warthog, any more than one would plan a tidal wave, a tornado or triplets, but at Stone Hills natural disasters have a way of happening when you least expect them.

Through Zimbabwe’s darkest days, Stone Hills has become a world in itself, a place where you might share your shower with an owl or your bed with a baby squirrel, where crocodiles are named after unpopular guests and a rather individual warthog named Poombi relinquishes her place on the sofa to return to the wild – much to her indignation.

Engaging and delightful, this book is the exhilarating and intensely moving story of a wildlife sanctuary in the heart of Zimbabwe’s ancient, majestic Matobo Hills. It is a testament to one family’s passion for Africa’s wildlife and their conviction that nothing can change the essential nature of the land and its people.
