The Kruger National Park in its early days was not for the faint of heart… this is a long read but well worth it for those wanting to know a bit about the early years…
The Photographic Journey of bulldog.
What you see is what you get……. birds, animals, and all sorts of things, but remember; Work for a cause, not for applause. Live life to express, not to impress. Don't strive to make your presence noticed, just make your absence felt. .
The Photographic Journey of bulldog. 
Love the story…Sad for the lion.
There were many that met their demise for trying to take humans as food…. fortunately there are more people who have met their demise from this very fact…
Well, if it was in self-defense 😉 Terrific post. Glad you reblogged it.
One has to fight to survive… he was one of the few lucky ones…
Damn lucky that ranger was! Excellent and interesting reblog!
It is stories like this that just make my day… how I would have loved to live here back then, BUT I’d have wanted the camera I now have to record life…
It was a good idea to share this story Rob. I enjoyed reading it. Clearly the ranger was very lucky to survive.
So right Brian, but would it not have been great to live in those days..??
Thanks very much for sharing our post with your friends Rob!
It is a pleasure I enjoyed the read, would love to have this book, but I;m sure I could not afford it…
I’m sorry for the lion, but I guess it’s better than having to be sorry for the ranger.
I agree Anneli, but how I would have loved to live in those days but had the camera I now have…what a life…
Agree! My old travel pictures with a better camera!!! All the old photos….Well, I always was interested in trying to take good pictures but in the old days of film, it was so expensive and I didn’t have a steady hand, so I wasted a lot of money. The beauty of digital (and better cameras) is that even amateurs like me can take advantage of the minimal cost.
