"At dusk, when everybody else had left through the park gates, we settle down to watch the animals from the comfort of our own camp beside the Walawe river.The Mahoora campsite is luxury in the wilderness. Our tent has its own patio, living room, double bed and even a shower room with a flushing toilet. Five-course dinners are served on tables lain with white linen cloths, sparkling china and gleaming silverware.Lanterns strung romantically in the trees keep the wildlife away but the midnight trumpeting leaves you in no doubt that they're out there, watching."
