Hi from a new member,
I have been on a few safaris, (Ruaha, Tanzania, South Africa and have just come back to the UK after a week in Etosha, Namibia). I generally love the experience, apart from one thing, I absolutely hate seeing a kill. I know its natural etc. etc. but everytime I see lions when they are in their hunting mode, I just think about the potential victim's and what they will experience if caught. I love the beauty of Giraffe's and Zebras and the fear of seeing one caught and eaten ruins the experience and enjoyment of the trip often. I had a bad experience in Ruaha. I was syaying at Mwaguisi Sand River camp and the Lodge owner was always out looking for Lions 'interacting' with the Buffalo. It just upset's me and I was always hoping that nothing would happen!
