Dead on cue the air shook with a lion call, very close: impeccable timing.
I?m not so worried about lion ? they generally regard eating humans as just not worth the hassle ? but the next night, at a public campsite, the hyena were rather unnerving. They just sit there waiting for you to climb up into your tent and the minute you do they?re in, seeing if you might have dropped any food, while you watch through the flysheet. Some of the other people camping lost a saucepan, another family a pair of flip-flops: you just have to put everything in the car or take it up into your tent. And the baboons, well they?re just a pain. But it?s all worth it. High in your tent you can hear absolutely everything, and really feel a part of the bush.
Part of the reason he was worried about lion is that we hadn?t seen all that many animals they might want to eat. He was starting to feel like the only thing on the menu. This is partly because we were driving ourselves along public tracks ? though even in this busy time of year we?d only pass five or six other vehicles per day.
