Golfers at the Skukuza Golf Club in South Africa had to stop play because of a dangerous situation involving two hunting lionesses and 20 hyenas. The hyena pack had killed a giraffe and were eating it. Skukuza is a golf course in the middle of the Kruger National Park. It is unfenced from the wild animals and costs £14 for 9 holes and £20 for 18 holes. The club captain had once had a run in with eight lions. He had the job of making sure the course was safe for golfers. There are no fences to prevent the Big 5 of lions, leopards, buffalo, elephant, rhinos, hippos, wild dogs, pythons, cobras and warthogs from entering the club.
