Have you ever wondered why lions do not attack when you are in a safari vehicle?

A question that has intrigued many. It’s a common sight, isn’t it?

These majestic creatures, kings of the jungle, yet they simply ignore or gaze curiously at these large, rumbling beasts on wheels.

What’s the secret behind this peaceful coexistence? Is it the size, the shape, or perhaps something more?

Let’s embark on a journey to unlock this mystery.

Size and Shape — The Unfamiliar Silhouette

Reflect on the size and shape of a safari vehicle. It’s somewhat alien to what a lion usually comes across, correct?

Imagine a colossal metal tortoise on wheels in the lion’s territory.

The unusual, bulky structure of this safari vehicle represents an alien silhouette in midst of the lion’s domain.

It doesn’t resemble a delectable gazelle, nor the shape of a menacing competitor.

Instead, it’s a unique entity, an anomaly in the otherwise familiar sights of the savannah.
