Cette info a été commentée par des habitués des self drives africains qui reconnaissent que la hyène est un animal dont il faut beaucoup se méfier (comme les hippos)
Voilà de quoi, si besoin en était, de rappeler que de tels voyages comportent des risques dont celui de la confrontation avec un prédateur (ou autre..Elephants) et qu'il faut observer une certaine prudence : Quand la nuit tombe, faut pas trop tarder à grimper dans sa tente (de préférence sur le toit) et éviter de se balader dans le camp. Je pense que même les déplacements dans le camp du style aller prendre sa douche ou chercher de l'eau ne doivent pas se faire seul, si la distance vous met hors de vue du camp.
Voilà un extrait du texte :
.."At about 11pm two of us had retired to our roof top tents and our third member was still in his camp chair enjoying the balmy evening air when a hyena decided to have a go at him and took a bite of his arm and pulled him out of his chair to the ground. The animal was quite aggressive and was not easily scared off by the noise and torchlight and only skulked off when campers in a neighbouring site came over in their vehicle to find out what the commotion was all about (a public thank you to Peter and his wife from Richards Bay for their help)
The bite was fairly serious and a decision taken to depart immediately and get medical assistance. Kasane seemed the right place to go and so we set off after striking camp at about midnight. The drive out of Chobe was nerve-wracking, but we got to Kasane by 3.45 am after persuading the parks’ people on the Ngoma Kasane road to open the gates for us as there was a real problem. They were reluctant to let us through until they saw plenty of blood and a gory passenger..."
