A pride of lions walked by both sides of our open vehicle. Made me nervous. Everyone told me that they would ignore us - but what if we ran into a lion who did not read the memo?
I would have preferred a gun, but no guns allowed in South Africa. I wanted to bring a knife but we heard horror stories about big fines for bringing in a knife.
So in the end I purchased a large phillips head screwdriver. It was hard to take photos and videos while holding the screwdriver.
I startled one lion when I moved to take a photo - she and I locked eyes. But she went on about her hunt.
My wife and Vicki also locked eyes - a bit disconcerting.
For the record, no lions attacked - probably because of my screwdriver.
