All guides had to carry rifles, they told us, partly as protection against the wildlife, but more importantly in case they encountered poachers. Murara told us that he had personally shot dead five poachers. He explained with a shrug that there was pas de problème about it. No bother with inquests or anything like that, he just shot them and went home.
Hmm. Reminds me of the Delia Owens situation.
