Game watching from your bed!

The tourists in Amboseli are quite clever. They have found a way to see the park, and us, without kicking up lots of dust in noisy vehicles – they go up in a balloon. We see these a lot when the weather’s good. They float above us, silently, and we carry on doing whatever it is we are doing, completely undisturbed.

I suppose there will be more tourists coming from the place with the water hole, but not too many. They seem to have finished one of the cottages. Close up, it looks quite fancy, but from the distance you can hardly see it. And, what’s more, the tourists can lie in bed and look straight at Kilimanjaro. And they’ll probably watch us as we take mud baths in the water hole. They won’t need a balloon!
