Now you know why I dropped the hammer BEFORE it got dark. I did sleep in the blind a few nights at a leopard bait later, another story though!
Even sleeping in camp was an experience. Last year one of the workers there was ripped to shreds by an elephant within a hundred yards of camp. They had a hell of a time finding the guys head, the elephant tossed it a piece they said!
Every night you would hear something different around the camp. Elephants, leopards, hippos, and of course hyenas. Never heard any lions though.

I suppose you learn how to sleep with one eye open and one hand on the trigger.

Can't wait to see some footage!

Thanks Bill!
