Wonderful Tubu Tree where I gave new meaning to two expressions:
1. “There’s an elephant in the room.” Picture of element in front of lounge area shown here closely approximates the experience of elephant at railing of my room.
2. “Monkey see, monkey do.” I left door to room open for a moment and in comes a monkey. Notorious for mischief making I needed to escort the monkey out AND fast. So I started dancing out of the room. The monkey followed me.
Wonderful Tubu Tree, my first safari camp.
