Synopsis
Ginny and Bill arrive in Kenya to look after the home of a friend who is vacationing in Europe. They are immediately befriended by three elephants, the smallest of which they nickname Pole Pole, a Swahili word meaning "slowly." They also visit their friend George Adamson and his lions, which were featured with them in the film Born Free . Among the many bush animals encountered by the couple are a pair of tame rhinos. The trip is brief, and after a sad farewell to Pole Pole and the other elephants, Ginny and Bill leave Africa.
