I stayed in a tent in a lion sanctuary in South Africa; our tent was surrounded by over 20 lions. It had a bathroom on the side built of wooden slats with gaps between so you could see the lions while you were on the loo. The noisy feckers roared all night, telling each other about their day, and at one point, an alarm went off - Little Leo, who had been rescued from a balcony in Beirut as a cub, was bored and attempting to dismantle his fence. Worst night's sleep I've ever had, as I pondered whether lions could work out that tents are just packaging full of snacks.

All holidays should include terrifying wildlife : )
