    Our safari guide (sonny) used a slingshot that he pulled out of the bamba experience vehicle glove compartment and shot a rock at a sleeping lion. Our mouths were wide open in shock. He then said “we could get kicked out for doing this.” Why the hell would I want to get kicked out?! We paid $9,000 to visit Africa (hike mount Kenya and go on a safari). We love animals and couldn’t believe he would do that. Our guide was very unprofessional and also said rude comments to us. I have been to Africa multiple times with different tour companies and I would never use bamba experience again.
