How to play
- You see the water hole through Khaya’s eyes. Hot, dusty elephants come down to the far bank.
- Khaya’s trunk follows your mouse or your finger. Press and hold on an elephant to spray it with water.
- Keep spraying until it is soaked. It flaps its ears and wanders off, nice and cool.
- The blue gauge shows the water in Khaya’s trunk. When it runs low, point at the water hole to fill up again.
- Cool off as many as you can before the sun sets.
