A Date with Lions: Nigerian Woman Learns 11 Survival Rules

Segun Atanda/

For a woman who loves adventures and travelling all over the world to see people, places and wildlife, a visit to Zimbabwe doesn’t sound like a bad idea.

But the trip to Zimbabwe by the bold and beautiful Nigerian woman, Jazzy Jess, got some of her friends really scared when they saw her exploits on Facebook.

Jazzy went for a stroll with lions and has something to tell anyone who might wish to try it.

“Remember, stand your ground, do not run and stay calm,” Jazzy posted on Facebook what she had learnt as the rules for staying alive while walking with the Lions.

Some friends say Jazzy has gone crazy.

Other rules on display at the Safari are: Stay alert, do not panic, do not run, do not crouch, stand your ground, stay with the group, do not wear dangly items, approach the lions from the rear, do not put anything on the ground, do not touch lions on face or ears, use stick correctly – not for hitting lions.

Asked if the Lions were tamed, Jazzy said, “They are well fed and never tame. We took a lot of precaution.”
