Drawing of Tengeru Camp
The next is Tengeru camp in Africa, a warm paradise. Although they couldn't leave the camp at will (note barbed wire) they could wander over some distance within, even into the jungle to collect fruit. The house of the Englishman in charge of the camp is up high in the centre.
