Начальник парка Марк Кросби – важный персонаж предыдущего романа «Сафари-приключение». Кросби является начальником Национального парка Цаво. Хал и Роджер навещают его, чтобы узнать о возможности использования его самолета, «Аиста», для наблюдения за людоедами, однако он рекомендует и предоставляет им свой водородный аэростат, «Жюль Верн». Танга – начальник станции на железной дороге Цаво. Хал поначалу подозревает его в недоброжелательности, но Танга лишь передавал приказы жестокого окружного офицера, короля Ку. Команда сафари – команда сафари, сопровождающая охоту, включающая Джоро, Мали, Тото и немецкую овчарку Зулу, играет в этой истории лишь второстепенную роль, поскольку король Ку, окружной офицер Цаво, категорически отказывает им в помощи. Когда Хал предлагает построить школу в деревне Гула, чтобы Баса мог преподавать, он поручает своей команде сафари помочь в строительстве.
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.
Враги
Король Ку — гигантский офицер округа Цаво. С момента прибытия охотников Ку, кажется, желает им смерти, запрещая помощь их команде сафари в надежде, что лев-людоед убьет их. Именно Ку перерезает трос воздушного шара перед надвигающейся бурей, бросая Хала и Роджера в опасное дрейфование и чуть не погубив их. В конце романа, после поимки льва-людоеда Черной Гривы, король Ку приносит извинения, объясняя, что его иррациональная ненависть к белым людям была вызвана убийством его жены и детей, в котором он считал виновными белых. В конечном итоге король Ку узнает, что его семью убил член организации «Мау Мау», после того как Ку отказался принести клятву убивать белых.
King Ku King Ku is the giant Tsavo District Officer. From the moment of the Hunts' arrival, Ku appears to want them dead, forbidding the aid of their safari team in the hope that a man eater lion would kill them. It is Ku who cuts the trail line of their balloon prior to the huge storm, casting Hal and Roger dangerously adrift and almost resulting in their deaths. At the end of the novel, after the capture of Black Mane the man eater lion, King Ku apologises, citing that his irrational hate of white people had been caused by the murders of his wife and children, for which he believed whites to be responsible. As King Ku eventually discovered, his family had actually been killed by a member of the black Mau Mau, after Ku had refused to take an oath to kill whites. Dugan Dugan is a hunter who had previously been employed to kill man eating lions. When he failed on numerous occasions, shooting innocent and harmless animals, he was fired, though he resents Hal and Roger for taking his job. Out of desire to discredit the boys and reclaim his job, he shoots an innocent lion and blames it on Hal and Roger. He also unties the flaps of their tent in the hope that a man eater would enter and kill them. When Dugan accidentally shoots a valued cow of the Gula village, he tries to hide his mistake, but the villagers track him down and put him on the first train to Nairobi, threatening to kill him if he ever returns. Basa A young man from the village of Gula, Basa's father was killed by Black Mane the man eater lion. Because the lion had first attacked Hal and Roger and they had escaped, Basa blames the boys for his father's death, vowing revenge. Basa eventually attacks Hal with a knife, but he is overpowered. Hal uncovers the true reason for Basa's frustration he wishes to build a school in his village, but cannot acquire the required funds. Hal generously offers to fund the school himself, and Basa is immediately overjoyed.
Дуган — охотник, которого ранее нанимали для уничтожения львов-людоедов. После многочисленных неудач, когда он стрелял в невинных и безобидных животных, его уволили, хотя он обижен на Хала и Роджера за то, что они заняли его место. Стремясь дискредитировать мальчиков и вернуть работу, он застреливает невинного льва и обвиняет в этом Хала и Роджера. Он также отвязывает полог их палатки, надеясь, что лев-людоед проникнет внутрь и убьет их. Когда Дуган случайно застреляет ценную корову деревни Гула, он пытается скрыть свою ошибку, но жители деревни выслеживают его и отправляют на первом же поезде в Найроби, угрожая убить, если он когда-нибудь вернется.
