Life at Sakeji has it's very Africa moments...sometimes they are few and far between...or either they just become normal, and the novelty of living in Africa wears off...who knows?
This week however reminded me very much of that fact that I actually do live in Africa.
Apparently a man in the Congo is stocking his game park with animals from South Africa, and recently one of his lions escaped. It has been leaving a trail of killed cattle, goats, and chickens from the Congo to this area! A couple of days ago it was seen by one of the local men that works at Sakeji! For a day or two we tried to be very careful of letting kids wander too far, and I do admit that walking anywhere at night did make me a little nervous.
Last we heard though, the lion has been continuing to move south east, away from Sakeji and Ikelenge. While I'm happy to hear that it's moved away, a small part of me would have liked to be able to have seen it! Please pray that this lion is caught soon, and that no one gets hurt in the process.
