Elephant Song is a 1991 novel by Wilbur Smith.[1] [2] Publishers Weekly stated that the novel contained "some romance, more sex, lots of bloody fighting and international intrigues, all carried out by deftly directed larger-than-life cardboard characters, will surely please Smith's fans and other action-addicted readers."[3]

It was the third-highest selling novel in England in 1992.[4]
