Plot wholes you could drive a jeep thru

I've been on dozens of safari game drives and....

1. There are always two guns.
2. Lions sleep 21 hours a day.
3. Every safari jeep has a radio that can reach other jeeps and the tourist camp.
4. Every safari jeep packs a large cooler of water bottles and snacks.
5. Generally, lions are just not interested in eating humans, especially in game parks where they are over exposed to humans due to the high volume of traffic.
6. And most of all, some people just deserve to be eaten.

7. They didn't even give a reason to prove that these lions were different or explain why they were angry. It would've made more sense if they told us there was some sort of biological experiment gone wrong in the area that made the lions super hungry.

...and you'd be driving a Range Rover through it, not a Jeep.

None of those are "plot holes."

Movies like this there are bound to be plot holes and you just gonna ignore them and enjoy it for what it is.

Why? Why do we have to ignore plot holes? Sure, there's always going to be *some suspension of disbelief, but a lot of times writers don't even try to meet us halfway on them. It's like they just want to write something, and if it doesn't make logical sense, it's our fault for taking it too seriously? It's our money that we're spending so they can make more films

just because something is explained, doesn't mean it makes sense...

I can't enjoy this movie for what it is because it's so stupid. Plus all the characters are annoying as hell and I wanted them to die.

Yes, lions do not hurt during the hottest part of the day. They are sleeping then. And true that lions do not generally eat humans- it can happen but rare. In this case, I wished like Hell they would have made a snack of the kids...

I'd like to ask what a plot "whole" is.
