Journos and the 'dodgy' lions of CKGR

Through the courtesy of Big Foot Tours, a local tourism company, journalists sampled the serene and tranquil atmosphere in Khutse Game Reserve, which is just a portion of CKGR. Here, nightfall presented a bit of trouble to the tourguides as most members of the groups could not adapt to the empty and apparent lifelessness inside their tents here in the desert. Just after Letlhakeng Village, cellphone networks are elusive.

We arrived at the CKGR entrance in the evening after driving for over 100 kilometres through the desert terrain. At this point, fatigue had not yet set in because we were all agog to experience what lay in store for us. A common anticipation among us was an encounter with lions, the kings of the jungle.
