Warning
Province of Inhambane
Ministry of Fish and Wildlife
Due to the rising frequency of Human-Lion encounters, the Ministry (Inhambane branch), is advising hikers, hunters, fisherman, motorcyclists that use the out- of- doors in recreational or work related function to use extra precautions while in the bush…
We advise people to wear small bells on clothing to warn any Lions nearby that you are there, and don’t take them by surprise.
We also advise people in the bush to carry pepper spray with him/her in case of encounter with a lion.
Outdoorsmen should also watch for Lion activity and be able to tell the difference between small lion faeces and large lion faeces.
Small Lion faeces are smaller and contain lots of berries and dassie fur.
Big Lion faeces has bells in it, and smells like pepper..
Enjoy your stay in Mozambique!
