At first she just looked at us curiously. Then a few minutes later she climbed out of the pool and started to move towards the jeep. As she came closer and closer Saloki quietly ordered us back into the jeep. I had just put my foot on the first step of the jeep when i felt myself slipping. The next thing i know i was flat on my back staring at the sky. While two people frantically dragged me into the jeep Saliki slammed his foot down on the accelerator. Soon the angry elephant was far behind us. Sitting in the jeep i couldn't stop thinking about how lucky i had been. i was extremely grateful to the members of my group and we were all really thankful to Saliki for being such an expert guide. After all he was the one who had saved the day. When i first woke up in the strange room i couldn't think where i was Slowly as i listened to the sounds of many different kinds of birds singing and smelt the exotic fragrances of flowers coming in through my window i realised i was in Africa it was really true - this was the begining of my safari adventure.
After getting dressed i went to meet the others in my group. We had a delicious breakfast and then joined our guide Saliki beside his jeep. As soon as he had given us some instructions about going on safari we climbed into the vehicle and set off. we had not driven very far when Saliki slowed the jeep so what we could watch a herd of elephants bathing in a muddy pool. The whole group laughed as the bigger elephants sprayed the backs of the younger members of the herd. Suddenly however one of the biggest elephants turned towards us.
