How I'd like...
I really want to go on a safari in South Africa, more specifically in Cape Town. I confess that I have a fear of getting into an accident with lions. fear to suffer some accident, mainly with lions. Recently, my friend visited Cape Town; he went on a safari in Port Elizabeth and he liked it very much. I asked him if he had gone in a (1) roofed vehicle closed car, but he explained to me that his vehicle car was (1) roofless open; it consisted of a truck whose with an exposed back was open and the tourists were seated up there. He also explained to me that the guides were very experienced, and when at a certain moment when a rhino ran behind his truck car, the driver (2) accelerated sped the truck and(3) pulled ran away. He also explained to me that the guides instructed the people not to do make sudden movements while being close to the animals especially mainly lions. He said told me that this sightseeing was the best in his life. I confess that my will to go on a safari increased after I listened to his narrative, but so did my fear too.Hi Kellen,
Personally, I think I have a greater fear of roller coaster rides than safaris. I always have an irrational phobia of having my neck snapped by some low beam while the cart winds up and down at great speed...
Back to your writing, I would like to share some suggestions:
(1) We can use adjectives such as "roofed" or "roofless" to describe vehicles. I noticed that you were using a variety of words (i.e. car, truck) so I standardised your sentences using "truck" since you mentioned that many "people were seated up there" and I assume it is unlikely to be a "car". As a side discussion, if it was indeed a car with a retractable roof, we can call it a "convertible".
(2) We can also use "accelerated" to refer to an increase in speed. When we use "sped", it means that the object is already travelling at a high speed as we speak.
(3) We use the phrasal verb "pull away" to refer to accelerating and putting a greater distance between us and something that is slower.
Hope this helps.

Personally, I would only feel comfortable with a lion when it was 2km away and I was carrying a machine gun. I dont see the attraction at all in these animals. Take care of yourself (and carry a pistol).
