I am sure that this is the case, but even if you have no background in
looking at animals, if you listen and are at least moderately adaptive
you can learn.  The few stolidly stupid or conscientiously ignorant
people who get eaten, however, are enough to give a guiding service a
bad name.  Luckily for the guides liability laws are fairly lax in
most African countries.
