Meet Rosa Swart, an intrepid wildlife enthusiast with a passion for adventure. During one of her annual visits to Kruger National Park, something remarkable happened that would stay with her forever.
Rosa: When you’re on the hunt for nature’s wonders, every moment counts. Our days were filled with early starts, endless preparations, and non-stop exploration.
Rosa: But, after weeks of chasing wildlife, exhaustion started to creep in. I thought of skipping the morning safari drive and enjoying a well-deserved lie-in.
Narrator: However, fate had other plans for Rosa. Her husband playfully teased her, mentioning the possibility of encountering something extraordinary—a “lion up a tree.”
Rosa: Those words were all it took to change my mind. I couldn’t resist the temptation of missing out on a potentially remarkable sighting.
And so, Rosa and her husband set out once again on an unforgettable safari drive.
Rosa: As we were driving on the S28, heading south, we spotted a tall, straight tree. And there, perched right at the top, was a lioness.
But that’s not all. Beneath the tree, not one, not two, but seven male lions were lying in wait. The lioness was in estrus, desperate to escape the relentless pursuit of these love-struck males.
Rosa: It was a heart-stopping moment. The lioness had defied gravity to seek refuge at the top of the tree.
As tension built up, the lioness made a daring decision. She leaped down from the high tree, and in an instant, the male lions were in hot pursuit.
Rosa: The chase was on, and we watched in anticipation. But, alas, we couldn’t see how it all ended. The lioness disappeared into the thick undergrowth, with the seven excited male lions right on her tail.
And that, my friends, is the tale of the lioness who defied gravity and escaped seven male lions, a story that will forever be etched in Rosa Swart’s memory.
