You close your eyes and blink a few times, as if to test whether you're awake or dreaming. You can't quite believe what you're seeing, What you'd thought was a stone is the back of an elephant. The sleeping creature has been curled up like a cat, with the rest of its body hidden from view. Only now it turns, lifting up its trunk and revealing the small tusks of a growing elephant.

It opens its mouth to yawn once again, lifting its trunk towards the canopy above. Then it curls it back around towards the top of its head and scratches across a tuft of bristles. There's something quite amusing about the way the elephant stirs, bending and straightening both hind legs. Its head and trunk flop comically forwards in a movement that looks clumsy and charmingly awkward.

The elephant stays there for a moment before wobbling to its feet, bending and straightening both front legs. Then it shakes its head and its massive grey ears. much like a dog might shake off the rain. Next, the elephant stumbles out of the shade, blinking a few times before opening its eyes. You follow it out into the sunshine, where its grey skin twinkles like silver.

Its ears, you notice, are shaped like Africa on a map, which is how you can tell it's an African elephant. It looks to be around seven or eight feet tall, a good bit shorter than a fully grown adult. This magnificent creature looks towards you, and you swear that its lips are curled into a smile Its expression is one of kindness and affection, as it reaches out its trunk to shake your hand.

You've never shaken the trunk of an elephant, but something about the experience feels a little familiar. As strange as it is, you know just what he'll say. as he introduces himself as your tour guide, Tembo. He's a young, adult elephant, aged 10 years old, and he was born and raised in Eastern Africa. It would be his pleasure to take you around his homeland to show you the sights of Tanzania.

you'll travel east across the country towards Mount Kilimanjaro, the mountain known as the roof of Africa. The route will show you the best of a country that's famed for its wildlife and natural landscape. Timbo is certain that you'll like the pool of hippos and the beautiful fauna in the volcanic crater. He also knows the best spots to sleep in, on a journey that will take you all of three days.

For whatever reason, you trust Tembo entirely. You've never felt as safe as you do beside him. It simply feels good to be in his presence, like being reunited with a dear old friend. You stroll beside the elephant as he walks towards the edge of the glistening lake. There's nothing so refreshing to a thirsty elephant as a few sips of fresh lake water.

You stand beside Timber as he lowers his trunk beneath the surface. And you drink in the scents as the elephant drinks the water. It's incredibly fresh and cleansing to the senses. Once Tembo has fully quenched his thirst, he splashes his trunk on the surface of the lake. The mischievous elephant then curls his trunk towards you and sprays you with a mist of cool, fresh water.
