Security has to be present in certain pockets, preventing vehicles and people from accessing these patches on foot, if they are doing so. One already knows and has witnessed so many incidents resulting in tragedy where our selfie-happy people are too busy trying to get pictures to make them insta-famous and obviously ignoring the fact, or being oblivious to it, that this is a wild animal and encounters may be fatal.

In the likely event of indiscipline by the crowd and indifference to signage, there has to be punitive action and fines that pinch. One also has to wonder how so many bikers are present in that stretch amid Covid curbs. People just need to be so much more aware and disciplined whether on safari or around national parks. It is not just for their safety but a very healthy and necessary respect for animals. Reinforcing of this message, patrolling and punishment for flouting rules work together to stop this kind of behaviour.
