Where in Africa is that? I imagine the best time to watch is early morning, local time. I know Kenya is 8 hours ahead of NY, 11 hours ahead of Seattle. Might be an hour or two earlier than that in West Africa.
The one time I went on a safari, I got stuck in traffic in Nairobi early in the morning and missed breakfast time for the big cats. By the time I got out there, it was nap time for the predators. I only got to see potential prey... some giraffes, zebras, a wildebeest or two, that's about it.

Were you wanting to see just the big cats themselves, or possibly them taking down another animal? It would be an interesting experience, but I don't think I'd enjoy seeing the actual hunt...I can't even stand watching that stuff on Animal Planet.
Speaking of which, I hate Animal Planet. Especially that one show where they just take animals to the emergency vet. I don't see the fascination with watching pets in pain, even if some of the stories end up being happy endings.

Dunno. I don't hunt, and don't understand how humans would consider killing animals to be a sport, but I guess I was more than a little curious to see it happen in nature. My presence wasn't going to affect anything, anyway.
So, jenn_gp, are there any reports of anything interesting happening on that site?
P.S. Whether or not they're hunting, I think it would be most exciting to see them out and about... make it feel like you're living dangerously. But the big cats mostly just nap all day, so you have to get them during hunting time (early morning), like it or not.

I'm inherently jaded as I deal with tons of illegal immigrants, and the only reason I deal with them is because they've done something horribly wrong. Yet I also know many people who came to this country in that manner and are better citizens than 99% of this mostly worthless population.
