http://www.lionsands.com/sightings.asp Many of the game parks have these web pages where the rangers post the reports. I just got this in email from Lion Sands so decided to post it. These types of things can happen at all the camps so it is not ONLY Lion Sands that sees these things. Some of these pictures are pretty graphic and when you are there it is not as graphic as it looks on a picture. It is nature and that is much clearer when you are in the bush. WILD DOGS IN SABI SANDS -- oh my -- wish I had seen that!!!

WOW!! Remind me again, how many can fit under the seat of a range rover at once with their eyes closed?

Marcie, we saw four lions kill a wildebeast on ROAR. It wasn't scary at all, just a little gory at times. If you think of it as Mr. and Mrs. Lion fixing dinner, you don't get freaked out--just Mother Nature at work.

Peggy, If I remember properly, you came to dinner really hunger after watching them devour dinner!! You wanted your dinner cooked though and you used utensils...

Just seeing a Python gives me the shivers-- don't like snakes at all, and especially not big ones. Fortunately the only snake we saw on ROAR was a little grass type snake on our patio. He slithered away after a few minutes.

Great photos! Would love to have been in Sabi Sands to see the Wild Dogs. What a surprise that must have been. - Michele

The python gives me shivers, too, Peggy!
One day, Willis got rather agitated (he was pretty inscrutable most of the time); Nick slammed on the brakes and said "What?" Willis said "Black Mamba", but by the time Nick backed up, it was long gone. Thank goodness.

Actually anytime the rangers see a snake they seem to get quite excited. Andre did the same thing. Hit the brakes, and said to the tracker "what was that"? He was not sure it was a snake. I guess they just dont snakes very much. We dont want to see snakes and snakes dont want to see us.
First time I went I have to admit I was concerned about snakes and spiders. Now I dont think about it at all anymore.
