Michael Apaiyu and Susan Chebet, a couple who reportedly wrestled a lion have spoken up. Mr Apaiyu said he was attacked by a wild animal on the road with his partner.

"Ilinirukia ikanifikia kwa kifua ikaniangusha chini na ilikua inataka kuniuma shingo. Niliishika mdomo na nikaambia wife aniletee panga, akaikata na ikamrukia ikamuumiza mguu, tukaiacha hapo ikiuguza majeraha. Tukaondoka," he told Zunguka TV

The two sought medical attention thereafter saying that they got a visit from KWS officers who went to check their well-being.

After sharing their experience, the couple has received a fully paid three-day surprise holiday by Zunguka Africa Tours Travel and Logistics Limited, which includes a two-night trip to an enchanting coastal destination.

This gesture comes as a recognition of their extraordinary bravery and resilience in the face of adversity. 

The courageous couple not only managed to fend off the wild predator but also narrowly survived the life-threatening incident, leading to an extended hospitalization period for their injuries.

Having recently been discharged from the hospital, Michael and Susan returned home to continue their recovery journey.

The couple has described it as an opportunity to unwind by providing them with an all-expenses-paid trip to the stunning coastal region.

"We were deeply moved by Michael and Susan's courage and resilience in the face of such a traumatic experience. It is an honor for us to contribute to their healing process by gifting them a rejuvenating coastal getaway," said Agatha Wangari, Managing Director for Zunguka Africa.

The three-day, two-night trip is meticulously planned to ensure Michael and Susan have a memorable and relaxing experience, allowing them to take a step closer to full recovery.

The couple will have the opportunity to explore the coastal city's breathtaking scenery, enjoy its rich cultural heritage, and indulge in various rejuvenating activities.
