Interesting that hyena kill, maybe a duiker? Many people think they don't hunt and just scavenge, but the jury is out regarding whether they or lion are the apex predators in Kruger...
What exactly do you get to eat for R75, you miser?
A local nice burger and chips costs over R50 here, and that's obviously without transport costs etc...

Spiders, Scorpions and Whip Scorpions are all Arachnids, Whip Scorpions are also known as Whip Spiders, fascinating creatures, boon ugly but not revolting!
I thought the kill was probably a Bushbuck judging by the colour of the one leg that I did get in a picture. The debate concerning Lions vs Hyaenas is an interesting one - I have seen some studies that report Hyaenas kill more of their prey than Lions do!
Less than you used to get for R42. If the previous proprietors could (presumably) make a profit at R42, why the massive increase in price? Smells like profiteering to me!

Not a very lucky day for that tilapia!
I like jumping spiders...they are not as grotesque, and are good with pest control!
I wonder if someone doesn't just make up the dragonfly names as they go along...
Ja...profiteering indeed at the restaurants...it is going to backfire on them one day...
