A TWO-WHEELED SAFARI SOUTH AFRICA KRUGER NATIONAL PARK MEALS ON WHEELS

“WILL A GUN, PEPPER SPRAY, AN AIR HORN AND LOCAL KNOWLEDGE BE ENOUGH IF WE’RE FACE TO FACE WITH AN ANGRY ELEPHANT? IT’LL HAVE TO BE”

BEFORE WE HEAD OUT, THERE ARE A FEW ESSENTIAL RULES YOU NEED TO KNOW TO SURVIVE IN THE BUSH,” Anton explains. “In the event of an elephant attack, grab your bike by the top tube, do a 180 and ride as hard as you can in the opposite direction while I draw a line of pepper spray on the ground. If buffaloes charge, stop in your tracks and whatever you do, don’t move. If there’s a tree nearby, climb it!” If it wasn’t clear to me before, it is now – this will be no walk in the park. Anyone who’s gone on safari in Africa knows that under no circumstances should you get out of your vehicle. All we’ve got is our bikes and Anton. While he’s equipped with a gun, pepper spray, an air horn and lots of local knowledge, will that be enough
