Black Mamba Hiding Above a Bed in a Safari Lodge!

In this episode of Snakes in the Hoed, Tim and Pep are called to a beautiful safari lodge in the Greater Kruger area just outside Hoedspruit, where staff have discovered a Black Mamba hiding high up in the wooden beams beneath the thatched roof of a guest room.

With the mamba several metres above the ground, Tim has to climb a large ladder to get close enough to attempt the rescue. But with a steep ladder, a highly venomous snake and a guest room far below, getting the mamba safely back down proves to be quite a challenge.

Eventually, Tim has to make an unusual decision: rather than trying to climb down the ladder with the Black Mamba, the snake has to be dropped onto the mosquito net below.

Join us for another real-life snake rescue from the South African bush.
