Thank you for your good advice ruthofisrael, I will try to learn from it.

My worst experience with Baboons was in 1973, my wife and I were traveling to Cape Town from Johannesburg by car and pulling a caravan. When we reached du Toit's Kloof (This was of course in the days before the tunnel was built. ) we decided to pull over and have lunch in the caravan. We pulled off the road and my wife told me to lay down and rest while she maked us a sandwich and tea. As you entered the caravan, it had a double bed on the left next to the door and the kitchen area was on the right. I lay smoking a cigarette until my wife said she had our sandwiches ready.I got up from the bed and put out the cigarette in an ashtray which was on the bed with my back to the door. While I was doing this I heard my wife in a very frightened voice say " Oh my God".I turned around very fast to see what was wrong and in turning I saw a HUGE Baboon standing in the caravan right next to me and in my turn I gave this huge baboon a backhand punch. As I was hitting him I realized that I was most likely making a grave mistake but the punch was already on its way and I could not stop it. Lucky for us both the baboon fell out the door of the caravan and landed on the ground on his back. I pulled the door closed as his body hit the door trying to get back into the caravan which would have been a catastrophe, his two front incisor teeth were at least 55mm long which would have caused a lot of damage. We waited quite a while before he cooled off, then threw out a banana and then waited until he moved on before we left the caravan to continue our journey.
