Do not walk AT NIGHT and do not walk on your own at any time, always walk with 2 or more people.
People should stay on the roads and avoid using pathways through the bush.
Those who use the bush for their church gathering are also strongly encouraged to avoid such places and to be alert and fully aware of their surroundings.
National Parks and KAWFT would like to remind all Residents and Visitors that Kariba is within a Parks Wildlife area.
Lion and other predators are seen frequently in this area and further out.

The public is encouraged to submit all sightings of lion so that their movements can be monitored.
