Original text
A play inspired by an actual event, it tells of two friends, Christo Kirsten and Buks Botha, who go on a seven-day tour of the Kgalagadi Game Park to celebrate their 50th birthdays. Their long-time friend, the wealthy widow Delia Dirksen, arranges everything and becomes part of the birthday celebrations. Buks and Amy Botha are unaware of what awaits them one dark night in the Bosobogolo camp. What is more dangerous in the remote Kgalagadi? A long-standing grudge between friends, or a starving leopard?
