A tourist was eaten by a pride of five lions in an outdoor shower at a game reserve. Pete Evershed - a businessman from Harare - was killed at Mana Pools National Park in Zimbabwe, a location that offers visitors the chance to get closer to nature.
It is the latest in a string of attacks at the park. Johnny Rodrigues, from the Zimbabwean Conservation Task Force, said: "It's promoted as somewhere you can get back to nature. It's a romantic idea, but visitors need to know they are taking their lives into their own hands."
This shocking story points out that some places in the world require special vigilance. And it should also remind us of the importance of being alert in the spiritual realm. The scripture warns us to "be sober and alert. Your enemy the devil, like a roaring lion, is on the prowl looking for someone to devour." 1 Peter 5:8
