Have any of you had any close calls/run-ins with any of Africas dangerous snakes, scorpions, etc. Once in Namibia while heading back to camp in the bakie, we stopped to take some photos of an impala herd in the dry creek bed we were driving in. I heard something hit the window on my side of the truck, and a Black Mamba was striking it,

trying to get me. Yellowish venom was dripping down the window. Scared the s... out of me! I'm sooooo glad that my window wouldn't roll down.
