WARNING

Due to the rising number of human - lion encounters, the Ministry of Fish and Wildlife, Inhambane branch, Mozambique is advising hikers, hunters, fishermen and any motor cyclists that use the out-of-doors in a recreational or work-related function to take extra precautions while in the bush.

We advise the outdoorsmen to wear little noisy bells on clothing so as to give advanced warning to any lions that may be close by you so you don’t take them by surprise.

We also advise anyone using the out-of-doors to carry 'Pepper Spray' with him or her in case of an encounter with a lion.

Outdoorsmen should also be on the watch for fresh lion activity, and be able to tell the difference between the spore of lion cubs and adult lions. Lion cub droppings are smaller and contain lots of berries and fur. Adult lion droppings have bells in it, and smell of pepper.
