Gary Gnu!!!! From the Great Space Coaster!!! Oh my…does anybody still remember him??? Ha ha ha. If you do, then we are probably of the same generation :) I can’t believe there was a real animal behind him. So cool.

Allow me to reintroduce to those who are interested two suitable musical accompaniments to the beasts in question, the hippopotamus and the wildebeest:

If the buffaloes escaped you this time, you probably don’t need another bloodcurdling moment as with the lion and leopard encounters, although the animals after having had a fill of their prey, were less likely to bother you. But how complacent can one really be?

Our hair-raising experience happened on an evening drive when we came upon a herd of buffaloes crossing the road midway, probably more than thirty heads of them. We stopped to take photos and just after we thought they had crossed and were finally moving on, a large one, probably the head of the herd turned around , just several feet away, lowered its head and with an angry stare and then a twist of its neck appeared to make it known that we better go on our way. Our ranger promptly headed us back to the lodge as we all heaved a sigh of relief and regrouped.
