The journey took several hours in a four-wheel drive, along roads pitted with deep holes and slippery with mud from the pouring rain. Joe slept much of the time, waking only to wonder if the rain would ever stop and to marvel that they were able to keep going on a road that presented so many challenges. By the time they reached the Maasai Mara, darkness had fallen. Peter told them that they were going to stay on a campsite just inside the border of the reserve, rather than in a hotel. Aesha groaned loudly, but Joe couldn’t imagine anything better. ‘Are we really going to be sleeping in a tent? Will there be wild animals close by?’ he asked. ‘It’s very likely we’ll hear animals in the night, but they don’t normally come into the camps,’ Binti assured him, presuming he had asked because he was worried. ‘I think it would be amazing to have wild animals prowling around,’ said Joe. Aesha snorted. ‘You wouldn’t think it was amazing if one came into the tent.’ ‘There’s not much chance of that,’ said Peter.
