In chapter 18, Buyi begins the day met by André and Simoshile, who have decided to stay within the safety of the camp after hearing about the lion attack. André ends up persuading Mama Unathi to take them on a wildlife tour, which excites Buyi. After a half-hour wait, they meet the tourists, Moira, Frank, and Tom, from Chicago. As they ride in the Land Rover, André provides commentary on his adventures in the bushveld. Themba leaves right away without informing his guests about the recently seen rogue lion. As they traverse through the game reserve, Buyi watches Lwazi meticulously observe animal tracks and explain their characteristics. The group sight various wildlife, including red hartebeests, which Themba humorously compares to ‘McDonald’s’ because of the distinct black markings on their bodies. As they continue their journey, they spot warthogs, thus illustrating ingenious methods used to keep off ticks from these creatures and accounting dangers from poachers. Upon arriving at a place named Piekniekrots, Themba warns the group about the potential threat of leopards. He shows them the vast expanse of the reserve, engulfed in a plethora of green hues, bathed in bright sunshine, present a breathtaking view to Buyi. While enjoying the idyllic scenario with homemade refreshments, they hear the soft growls of a leopard and with binoculars spot it lounging atop a nearby hillock. Just as they thought the day couldn't get any better, Lwazi spots elephants, adding to the thrilling adventurous day for Buyi and his newfound friends.

FULL SUMMARY:
In hoofstuk 18, begin Buyi sy dag deur na sy pa se nota op die yskasdeur te kyk en na Umfana, die hond, te sorg. By die hoofgebou ontmoet hy sy vriende, André en Simoshile, waar hulle besluit om niks te beplan vir die dag nie. Egter, met die hulp van Mama Unathi, reël André 'n wildbesigtigingsrit vir hulle drieë. Hulle wag vir 'n halfuur en geniet sterk koffie en beskuit. Tydens die wagte, ontmoet hulle Amerikaanse toeriste - 'n egpaar, Moira en Frank, en hul familievriend, Tom. Andrè onderhoud hulle met sy veldverhale en wanneer hulle eindelik op die wildbesigtigingsrit vertrek, sit Buyi, Andrè en Simoshile agter in die Land Rover, hou die toeriste voor hulle. Op hul rit, vertel Themba aan hulle van die natuurlike geskiedenis van die omgewing en wys hulle die verskillende voetspore van die inheemse wildlewe. Hulle sien verskillende soorte wild, soos rooibokke en waterbokke, vlakvarke en luiperds. Daar is 'n komiese oomblik waar Buyi en André spot met die idee om vinniger as Moira te hardloop in geval van 'n luiperd aanval, tot Simoshile se afkeur. Op die piekniekplek, geniet hulle die ongelooflike uitsig en proef van Mama Unathi se kos, terwyl hulle luister na die natuurlike geluide van die voëls en diere om hulle. Die rit sluit af met die opwindende gebeurtenis van 'n luiperd en olifant waarneming.
