Allies
- Warden Mark Crosby- A major character in the previous novel, Safari Adventure, Crosby is a warden of Tsavo National Park. Hal and Roger visit him to enquire about using his plane, the Stork, to watch for man-eaters, though he recommends and lends to them his hydrogen balloon, the Jules Verne.
- Tanga- The station master along the Tsavo railway. Hal initially suspects him of being against them, but Tanga had merely been passing on the orders of the cruel district officer, King Ku.
- The Safari Team - The Hunt safari team, including Joro, Mali, Toto and Zulu the alsatian, plays only a minor role in this story, as their assistance is staunchly denied by King Ku, the Tsavo District Officer. When Hal offers to build a school in the village of Gula so that Basa can teach, he instructs his safari team to help build it.

Famous quotes containing the word allies:
“... liberal intellectuals ... tend to have a classical theory of politics, in which the state has a monopoly of power; hoping that those in positions of authority may prove to be enlightened men, wielding power justly, they are natural, if cautious, allies of the “establishment.””
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“They tell us that women can bring better things to pass by indirect influence. Try to persuade any man that he will have more weight, more influence, if he gives up his vote, allies himself with no party and relies on influence to achieve his ends! By all means let us use to the utmost whatever influence we have, but in all justice do not ask us to be content with this.”
—Mrs. William C. Gannett, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 5, ch. 8, by Ida Husted Harper (1922)
“Ireland still remains the Holy Isle whose aspirations must on no account be mixed with the profane class-struggles of the rest of the sinful world ... the Irish peasant must not on any account know that the Socialist workers are his sole allies in Europe.”
—Friedrich Engels (1820–1895)
