Try to visualize the situation not only from your own human experience, but as part of the reality experienced by all the animals involved. Nature dictates their reasoning, emotions and feelings under the circumstances.

To illustrate only four of an endless number of possibilities:

The possible perception of you, the tourist:

• Shame how cruel, poor impala, imagine the pain!
• Oh no, being ambushed and killed by a leopard and also followed by a hyena, how unfair!
• Yes, that is exactly what I wanted to witness on an African Safari, a true predator ambush and resultant kill. I need to capture every second of it to share it with friends on Instagram, or Facebook, etc.
• Or, although I wanted to experience Africa, I did not want it to be so gruesome.
• I can’t look at it, it hurts me.
• Shame the Impala is so beautiful and innocent, how can the leopard & Hyena be so cruel?
• That is nature, the death of one is necessary for the survival of another one. No friends, or favors out there!

How could you possibly feel, if you were the Leopard:

• As Leopards stay & hunt alone, nobody else will invite me to a meal.
• Killing antelopes is what I am designed for, that’s what I am specialized in.
• I am hungry, I need to eat
• I am a mother, I need to look after & care for my young one!
• I need to feed it and care for myself, to produce milk.
• I must remember that the first objective of the hyena is to steal the antelope that I killed with great effort.
• Simultaneously I must protect my young one from the threat the hyena poses to it.
• With so many tourist vehicles around I need to move my prey to a safer place.

How could you possibly feel, if you were the hyena:

• I am known to eat carrion, but if an easy, fresh meal presents itself I’ll never say no.
• I too have got a young one which I need to feed.
• If I steal this impala don’t have to look for something dead later, I need to survive.
• All humans see me as a despicable looser, yet I am very clever, sly and strong.
• I can survive on carrion, but I am also an accomplished & fearless hunter.

Lastly, how could you possibly feel, if you were the Impala antelope:

• • I was only minding my own situation.
  • Why did it have to me, there are 50 other members in my herd
  • Why was it me who was killed?
  • I should have protected myself better.
  • Why was I not more cautious, I know there are predators around.
  • As this was lambing time, she might also have had a young one who now had no chance of survival.

Looking at it from all different angles you’ll now take home a far more rewarding experience from your Safari! This experience can possibly be applied to nearly all other situations in your life! It might be a “Wow, life-changing moment” of realization!

These are some of the realities of “free roaming life” out here in the stunning African Bushveld, relaxing, peaceful but at times also very dangerous! Yet, also for the animals, this danger is certainly much more rewarding than a sheltered life in a zoo! Something that we all must protect & share with our children!
