Warning Signs

It was in St. Lucia that we first encountered warning signs, reminding us that nature pretty much has the upper hand in that part of the world.

In St. Lucia, of course, hippos roam the streets, looking to eat your lawn, and if you hit one with your car, you're probably the road kill:

Nice touch: Even in South Africa they have the "grocer's apostrophe." 

Also, wild animals in general are "unpredictable."

At iSimagaliso, you should just "Beware!" or "Qaphela!." 

And yet, she doesn't looked scared

This sign means there are elephants on the road

Baboons: always a problem:

Monkeys and hyaenas too:

I have always wondered what the "necessary" incidents and accidents would be.

If you planned your afterlife journey to begin in Kruger NP, forget it:

And if you have an accident, or get eaten by a lion (it has happened), tough luck:

Even if you get hit by a sausage fruit, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

QAPHELA!

Is it any wonder that one of the natural features of the Kruger is thus named?
