I got busted by a park ranger a few months ago for getting out of my car in Kruger. I did check for lions before getting out

In all fairness, I had NO IDEA I wasn't supposed to be out of the car. There were no signs upon entering the park, no verbal instructions by anyone, and I didn't read the fine print of the materials they gave me, so I had no idea. The ranger came upon me as I was photographing a river bed. She told me to RUN back to my car, as she drove alongside me. I had seen a couple getting out of their RV at a watering hole earlier. Guess I'm used to Montana/Yellowstone/Glacier, where we have grizzlies everywhere and its no big deal to walk up to one and poke it with a stick
