Hyena Hunting

In an effort to keep Malawi fun and interesting we thought it would be a great experience to be led into the forest, at night, by a man carrying an enormous gun, to set bait for the hyenas outside their cave, sit 10 feet away on a rock, and wait for them to come to us.

Did I see a hyena? No

Did I hear a hyena? No

Did I sit on the rock for two hours in the cold? Yes

Did I stare at a pile of rancid goat meat for two hours? Yes

Could I smell the rancid goat meat for two hours? Yes

Did the man ever fire his gun to show off? No

Did we ask him to? Yes

Did we ask him to let us take a picture holding his gun? Yes

Did he let us? No

Did he laugh at us when we asked? Yes

Did I have a good time? Oh yeah
