Some guests posted on Facebook and Twitter that they were on one of the safari trucks as the birth was starting. “Was on the safari this morning and she was laying down…. heard the trucks radio telling others not to go near,” one guest wrote.
Other said they saw the start of the birth with the legs sticking out. If you look closely at the video below you are able to see the legs.
