Elephant Blog Debs

Woken up in my tent at Chada Katavi, Tanzania to the sound of branches being broken and chewing. I was peering through my window of my tent desperate to see what it was.  The light of the lamp was shining outside but whatever it was, it did not enter the circle of light.  After a while suddenly it came into view, huge white tusked elephant, coming straight towards the tent. After walking down the line of the tent he turned to look straight at me.  Silly of me to think he could not see me, they know exactly where I  was, sitting bolt upright in my bed not breathing!
