To park a tiger is South African slang for vomiting — a vivid, darkly comic image that makes something unpleasant sound almost impressively dramatic. It fits the South African slang tradition of disguising gross moments behind colourful metaphors. The tiger element suggests something wild and uncontrollable escaping, which is... accurate.
He had four too many at the braai and ended up parking a tiger behind the garage.
