[QUOTE="Lawrence, post: 641704, member: 16844"] [USER=10447]@Ironwood[/USER] here's an un-cropped photo showing exactly how close we got to the animals. In this case a lion and you can see that it wouldn't be too difficult for her to take out the tracker. Interestingly enough the tracker's profile on these vehicles is one of the things that the Sabi Sands animals become used to and not fussed about. On the second last day of the safari a pride of 5 lionesses had wondered over from Kruger (referred to as "Kruger Lions as if they are a totally different breed). We weren't on site for even a minute when the both the guide and tracker said the lionesses were not happy and were fixated on the tracker. A dangerous situation - so we withdrew and dropped the tracker off before returning. Once that was accomplished the lionesses seemed much happier as the vehicle's profile, without the tracker on the front, was what they were more accustomed to. It is reassuring to have this sort of knowledge and body-language reading capabilities on board. [ATTACH=CONFIG]269550._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
