0:07
on end. Number 6 On a sunny day in South Africa, a group of
0:13
men's average safari expedition quickly turned for the worse after being chased down
0:19
by a territorial male lion. At first, things seemed to be going according to plan as they simply observed the predators
0:28
roaming around the plains up ahead. Out of nowhere though, they notice one of the lions beginning to walk in their direction
0:46
Even after backing away quite a bit, the hungry predator sadly decides that he won't let
1:00
Now fighting for their lives, the men continue to fire warning shots towards the animal
1:07
all while running as fast as they can
1:23
Eventually the lion thankfully decides to spare the men and they simply proceed to record
1:29
it from a safer distance. Number 5 In a South African safari, a group of tourists
1:37
thought it'd be a good idea to park their car right next to a group of lions trying
1:42
to relax. Unfortunately, they quickly regret their decision after getting the attention of one of the
2:07
Still in utter shock, they now thankfully decide to lock their doors and proceed to
2:12
drive away before anything else occurs. Number 4 On a tour of Kruger National Park, a few tourists
2:22
had their day take an unexpected turn when their car got dangerously approached by two
2:27
huge, fearless male lions. At first, the tourists try to grab a few pictures from a safe distance when one of the lions
2:36
decides to come get a closer look
2:52
Understandably shocked by what they're witnessing, they attempt to follow the animal around as
2:58
it continues to walk further up the road
3:12
Now with both predators lurking around just a few feet away from their car, they eventually
3:17
feel like they've seen enough and simply stop recording completely. Number 3 In South Africa, a couple tourists quickly
3:26
started recording after spotting a male lion running up the hill towards them
3:32
Immediately, one of the tour guides decides to do his job and bravely confronts the predator
3:50
Luckily the male lion decides to spare the man and continues on his original path up
4:04
Thankfully he simply resorts to laying down next to the female lion and the tourists
4:10
sadly, decide to stop recording. Number 2 In Kruger National Park, a group of tourists
4:18
on an exciting safari drive unfortunately had a few hungry lions come and ruin the fun
4:26
Initially, everyone on the tour bus seems to be peacefully observing the animals up
4:30
ahead when they suddenly notice a group of lions to their left
4:45
As time goes on, the predators appear to be tensing up and adopting a more hostile position
4:51
which unfortunately triggers one of the buffaloes to get defensive. Unfortunately for the lions, the rest of the herd also decides to get involved and join
5:29
Eventually the predators manage to get left alone and proceed to walk away from there
5:33
in one piece. Number 1 In a South African safari, this woman's seemingly
5:41
normal evening drive quickly turned into a nightmare when she came way too close to a
5:47
hungry group of lions. At first, nothing seems out of the ordinary as she parks her car in order to observe the
5:55
predators walking down from the road up ahead. Contrary to what most would do, she decides to remain completely still as the group of
6:17
lions now begin walking right past her
6:28
For many more tense minutes, she and her cameraman avoid any sudden movement, all while many
6:43
more predators continue to walk past them. Feeling like she's had enough, she finally decides to start up her engine and drive away
7:04
from the area while she still can. Thanks for watching until the end, check out this other video that is sure to give you
