A boy and a girl about Ethan and Ella’s age hung back in a doorway. The twins waved to them. The boy and girl waved back.

“Habari!” Ella called out.

“What does that mean?” Ethan whispered.

“It means ‘hello’ in Swahili. Dad taught us this morning at breakfast, remember?” Ella whispered back.

Ethan frowned. He didn’t remember at all. He had been too busy making raisin smiley faces in his porridge.

“Hello!” the Maasai boy replied with a shy smile.

“You speak English?” Ella asked him eagerly.

“Yes. We study English at our school,” the girl said. “I am Amina. This is my brother, Jomo.”

The twins introduced themselves. Then they told Amina and Jomo about their safari and the animals they’d seen so far.

“We really, really want to see a lion, though,” Ethan finished.

“Yes, lions are amazing!” Jomo agreed.

“My favorite is seeing a mother lion with her baby cubs. They rest in caves and dens until the cubs are old enough,” Amina said.

“Aww!” Ella cooed. Now she really wanted to see baby cubs, too!

“Do you know Dr. Alex Broad?” Ethan asked Amina and Jomo.

“She’s a lion scientist,” Ella added.
