The area where that game reserve is, is about 30-45 mins from where I grew up. We used to go on tons of little weekend getaways to that area, lots of little resorts, good fishing, good golfing, popular area for hang gliding...I believe the wildest animal I ever encountered while going on a walk there might have been a gecko.
Then I moved to Columbus, Ohio, where fucking deer, coyote, skunks and who knows what else run around in your backyard...
I'd take my chances in Africa.
That's because lions in zoo's are fucking sickly looking.
