Pincott worked alone, on a full-time voluntary basis, for 13 years (2001-2014) with the clan of wild, free-roaming, elephants known as the Presidential Elephants of Zimbabwe on land bordering the Main Camp entrance to Hwange National Park.
She acquired a reputation for being able to "talk to the elephants".

In 2009, eight years after arriving in Zimbabwe, Pincott was appointed South Africa Getaway magazine's 'Elephant Ambassador in Africa' "in recognition of her courageous work with wildlife in Hwange".
  Pincott subsequently came to the attention of Natural History Unit Africa and became the subject of the  documentary titled All the President's Elephants.

This All the President's Elephants documentary was filmed with Pincott in Hwange in 2011.
It is the story of Pincott's life, work and intimate relationship with the Presidential Elephants of Zimbabwe, showcasing these Hwange elephants and some of the problems they face.
It includes her wire snare removal work with colleagues called in to dart injured elephants using a tranquillizer gun.
It also features Pincott's work successfully recommending and encouraging President Robert Mugabe to reaffirm his commitment to this clan of elephants, in an effort to secure their future.

From December 2017 Pincott was active in voicing widespread opposition to scores more young elephants being captured, forcibly taken from their mothers and families inside Hwange National Park and transported to Chinese zoos, appealing to Zimbabwe's new President Emmerson Mnangagwa for an immediate review of policy and ultimately delivering a petition that attracted 287,509 signatures.

Her elephant conservation work has been profiled in National Geographic, BBC Wildlife and Africa Geographic.
She has been interviewed by writers for Intrepid Explorer magazine, South Africa The Zimbabwean newspaper, The Sydney Morning Herald, and Travel Africa magazine.
