Yikes, a python in the bedroom. Imagine enjoying a romantic Kruger Park getaway, only to find a snake spent the night chilling on your ceiling. That happened to Mica Bafatakis and her boyfriend at Satara camp.

This story is enough to make any South African shiver! It's a good reminder to always give your Kruger accommodation a thorough check before snuggling in, just in case any unwanted reptiles have decided to move in.
