Province of Inhambane
Ministry of Fish and Wildlife
Mozambique
In light of the rising frequency of human / lion encounters, the Ministry of Fish and Wildlife, Inhambane Branch, is advising hikers, hunters, and fishermen to take extra precautions while in the bush.
We advise that outdoorsmen wear little noisy bells on their clothing so as to give advanced warning to any lions that might be close by so you don't take them by surprise. We also advise outdoorsmen to carry pepper spray with them in case of an encounter with a lion.
Outdoorsmen should also watch out for fresh signs of lion activity, and recognize the difference between lion cub excrement and adult lion excrement. Lion cub excrement is smaller and contains lots of berries and dassie fur. Adult lion excrement has little bells in it and smells like pepper.
Enjoy your stay in Mozambique.
