WeekendWarrior80 Posted May 4, 2018 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gen Posted May 4, 2018 Share I am a pretty hard bastard and not fazed by much but that video disturbed meI 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.
