As the day dawns, the air is thin and
cool, the smell from last nights fire on the blackened
logs still hangs in the air. Suddenly the silence is broken as
an angry cape buffalo charges into the unsuspecting safari camp,
dragging one of the tents in the wake of its furry. The
shape of the cot, perhaps supporting a sleeping hunter, can be
seen in the collapsed tent.
The year is 1910, the place is British
East Africa (later Kenya). The cape buffalo is known for its
unpredictable behavior seemingly in need of constant anger
management - so we do not know what caused this buffalo to make
this impromptu visit.
It was often customary in these times
for a bugle to be sounded when raising the tents at camp. Then
when the camp was being dismantled, another bugle note would
be played to signal the lowering of the tents. In this case,
the camp had a rude awakening as it was treated to the unexpected
Reveille in the form of a rampaging buffalo.
