Caravaning and Camping.

[Gen]

We dont have a rooftop and have always camped on the ground in either a 3 man hiking tent or the 3m canvas dome tent.Never felt threatened by lion,hyena or ellies.

Had them in and around the campsite often and just gone back to sleep

Its fine

No food in the tents and keep them closed

Until we read an article about a family mauled to death ..and we all collectively say..well what did they expect would happen, we will also first assume they were yank tourist...[emoji6]

Been tempted to save some moola for one of these - https://www.game.co.za/game-za/en/All-Game-Categories/Sports-%26-Leisure/Camping-%26-Hiking/Tents-%26-Gazebos/Family-Cabin-Tent-510/p/00707354

 

I have a 4 person dome tent, but I assume it won't be suitable for our daughter who is just over a year old.

 

I bought a picnic braai from Spar for the sole purpose of camping, so ek moet 'n plan maak.

Didn't watch it myself, just heard about it. Hectic to say the least.

I am sure you've seen lions attack and drag prey away before.

 

I probably should have more sympathy for humans..but when you put a lion in an enclosure at some point things will happen.

Yes I have and yes you should...humans are not their natural prey

[Gen]

Yip.. humans are however easy prey and lions aren't stupid.

This picture sums the place up for me, heat, quiet and a crystal clear stream

Rather look at Canvas more expensive but way better.
