CALLING ALL LIONS!!

Care not for the squeamish


All you need is the following:-


  • 1 x carcass
  • 1 x rope to drag the carcass around the vicinity to advertise your wares.
  • 1 x chain to tie carcass to tree or appropriate object - must be sturdy and lion proof.
  • 2 x Large megaphones to play soundtrack
  • 1 x sound system
  • 1 x soundtrack - squealing pigs known to achieve excellent results
  • 1 x  "bunch of Nutters" to set this all up as the sun goes down and to listen to squealing pigs soundtrack into the night.
  • And don't forget the picnic and suitable drinks - although the toilets are closed for the evening!!
  • A whole lot of patience!!
Once this is all organised you then sit and wait whilst playing very loud squealing pig noises for twenty minutes on and twenty minutes off.

Eventually you hope you get to see some lions which could take 1-5 hours.












As you can see we were very lucky with the two events and got some good shots.

The technical term for this exercise is a Lion Call Up - we feel the Lion Ice Cream Van describes the process just as well.

We do not know what is planned for the next two weeks at HIP but will keep you updated internet allowing.

Love

David and Dawn
