Waiting, waiting, waiting.... finally a 'warden' drives up in their zebra striped Jeep, as he popped them in the butt with a BB rifle (lol, today we'll joke it identified .416 Rigby), the El Camino reacts to something big hitting or landing in it.
Side mirrors? Nothing. Rear view? A lioness is looking right back, nose on the glass... the girl faints.
Jeep pulled up immediately, honking.
Lioness departs. Girl awakes. Tour continues without further episodes.
We park outside the visitor center to eat; coming out there's a vulture on the cab.
Teased her a bit, 'yes, those cost extra.'
