In an article in the Summer 2005 Wildlife Times magazine, Virginia McKenna wrote,
"Returning to Kora, as I did this year in March , and standing in George's now silent little camp, the memories of all those years came surging back.  The love and and the loss. I was glad my son Will was with me. .... George is buried some distance away along the track next to his brother Terence and his beloved lion Boy. .... Elsa's grave, in Meru, where some of Joy's ashes are also buried, is also miles from anywhere in the hear of the bush.  At the campsite where she had become that famous lioness of two worlds. ....
In both resting places there is a sense of peace. "
