Not only can you be eaten by a lion but be careful of the elephants and do not forget the monkeys they can be a bit of a nucense. All the other animals we have roaming around our streets and backyards freely to eat our children are not as bad as the lions.
I take it by now you figured out we do not like being thought off as a
backwards uncivilized country.
Pls excuse our banter and sarcastic answers but we tend to get a little worked up by the world ignorance about what is really going on in our beautiful country

If you do get close enough to a lion to be eaten just be grateful, to have seen one. Just stay with your guild, don't stick your hand out to pet it and when the sign says "dangerous animal", believe it. This is Africa believe what you see and be cautious. But unless you go to a Zoo or Game Park, the chances are very low that you will even see one.

This depends on whether you want to be eaten by a lion, or you're trying to avoid being eaten by a lion!
If you want to get eaten, then a quick trip to the Kruger park, leave your car at the roadside & wander off into the bush with a few pounds of fresh meat strapped to your back!
If you're not looking to get eaten by a lion, then anywhere else is safe for you.

If you really believe there is a chance for this to happen, you are either crazy, or very much in the dark as to where lions are in the RSA. These animals used to roam around freely 200 to 300 years ago, now we just have them in places such as the Kruger National Park etc. Things do change you know !!

South Africa is a big contry and lions only roam free is a small part of it. Unless you happen to be hiking in a game park carrying a bag of fresh meat, you are unlikely to attract any attention from South African lions.

Well if it were meant a joke that was a good one, but I try to answer all questions on a positive note. Since the subject of your question is CHANCES and SOUTH AFRICA, I will put the probability as ½ (Eldarion’s).
To the best of my knowledge, today most interactions between humans and lions are limited to encounters in the more than 50 South Africa’s game reserves. 'Park' lions offer visitors the opportunity to watch them for hours doing what they do best - lying around doing nothing and looking majestic. So if you are visiting the Safari the chance game becomes valid. Well the safari’s have Land rovers and tour guards in place. I can assure you a health safety policy is in place.
However just browse through the following
I know (Brad M) won’t like this

I wouldn't worry about the Lions...
It's the Buffalo that'll kill you. You want to know why? Because you will probably think, "Oh look, some nice cows! I think I'll go scratch ones nose."
Needless to say, it will get p****d off and trample you. Then, if you're lucky, an Elephant will come do a dump on you, so that you'll be nicely fertilized and a Baobab will grow out your dumb*ss!

Unless you get out of your car in game reserves where they tell you not to, or try to stoke "the pretty kitty" then there is really no chance of you being eaten by a lion. Hope you enjoy it here in our BEAUTIFUL country!!!
