THE COUPLE STAYED AT SATARA

They were double booked with the python.

Mica Bafatakis recently shared their experience on the SANParks Facebook group:

THE PYTHON WAS IN THE ROOF WHILE THEY SLEPT THERE THE PREVIOUS NIGHT

“My boyfriend and I were staying at Satara, and we went to have a lie down in the afternoon.

“When water fell from the ceiling on my boyfriend’s leg- we reported a water leak to the reception and went for a beer. When we came back, I wanted to double-check the roof as I had a suspicion of a snake.

“When I looked up it was a python in our roof- we slept with it the previous night.”
