d) Explain how the saying in the final line, “Fools rush in where angels fear to tread”, goes with the story. 

 “Fools rush in where angels fear to tread” this saying goes with the story  because they are inexperienced people so they treat buffalo like sheep.

   

“Fools rush in where angels fear to tread” refers to a person who behaves impulsively; they don’t think before reacting. The saying goes with the story because a group of people, Halina and the speaker travel to Africa before knowing very little about it e.g. dangers, animals, people.
