Due to the rising frequency of human-lion encounters, the Ministry of Fish and Wildlife, Inhambane branch, Mozambique is advising hikers, hunters, fishermen and any motorcyclists that use of the out-of-doors in a recreational or work related function to take extra precautions while in the bush.
We advise the outdoorsman to wear little noisy bells on clothing so as to give advanced warning to any lions that might be close by so you do not take them by surprise.

We also advise anyone using the out-of-doors to carry ‘pepper spray’ with him or her in case of an encounter with a lion.

Outdoorsmen should also be on the watch for fresh lion activity, and be able to tell the difference between lion cub s**t and big lion s**t. Lion cub s**t is smaller and contains lost of berries and dassie fur. Big lion s**t has bells in it and smells like pepper.
