groves.

A Landrover jolts down the dusty road. In the Landrover

Robin and Diana sit side by side, bronzed and beautiful.

NOW TRACKING PAST thick bush -the view from the Landrover asit heads into deep country

The sound of CRASHING in the trees

An ELEPHANT lumbers out into the track just ahead,

frighteningly close. The MOVING POV screeches to a halt. Theelephant continues across the track, followed by another, andanother.

In the Landrover Diana sits very still, captivated by thesight. Robin has his camera out, taking photographs. The herdof elephants passes in front of and behind their vehicles,

thrillingly close.
