Camping up top. Google landrover camping.

  Camping in Africa sounds amazing, right up until there's a hyena sniffing around the other side of the tent canvas. Then it's not so much fun any more.

      No, I know what it looks like. A hyena will hop up onto the bonnet of that landrover and sniff / gnaw at the canvas up front, and if there's something inside it wants good luck.

        Hiding a 12ga inside a car bodywork is easy peasy lemon squeezy and slugs from that reliably put down grizzly bears, which are I believe the toughest land predator currently in existence.

          Trying to cross international borders legally with a firearm for self-defense is really difficult if not impossible. If you talk to Overlanders or international ocean cruisers, almost none of them carry weapons. Trying to sneak or bribe your way across a border with a weapon is a pretty serious crime.

            I doubt buying a shotgun in Africa when you land is a difficult situation.

              You would be wrong.

      Seeing that just makes me imagine someone stealing the truck and driving away with you still in the tent on top.

  They were worried about safety, so they wanted to sleep in something more secure than a tent.
