WARNING

Due to the rising frequency of human-lion encounters, the Ministry of Fish and Wildlife,
Inhambane branch, Mozambique, is advising hikers, hunters, fishermen, and any
motorcyclists who use the out-of-doors in a recreational or work-related function to take
extra precautions while in the bush.

We advise the outdoorsman to wear little noisy bells on clothing so as to give advanced
warning to any lions that might be close by so you don't take them by surprise.

We also advise anyone using the out-of-doors to carry pepper spray with him or her in
case of an encounter with a lion.

Outdoorsmen should also be on the watch for fresh lion activity, and be able to tell the
difference between lion cub shit and big lion shit. Lion cub shit is smaller and contains
lots of berries and dassie fur. Big lion shit has bells in it, and smells like pepper.

Enjoy your stay in
