No one returns to their room after dinner without the accompanyment of a rifle toting ranger on the Shamwari Game Reserve in South Africa.
View from your bed at the Eagles Crag Lodge, Shamwari Game Reserve, near Port Douglas, South Africa. Brad Pitt slept here a few months before my visit.
With all the excessive shutter clicking much like the paps of LA, we must have angered the fellow, because he decided to throw a charge at our Land Rover just to prove who the boss is.
by this time we all pretty much ready to capture our ending on video or jpgs, and if you look closely at the driver, Ranger Ryan, he has his right hand on the rifle.
Preparing for his statement of power...the charge.
After proving his point, we high tailed it out of there in search for more fun and games.
After our close call with the charging elephant, we had a chance to brag about our encounter to some fellow wild game shutterbugs.
