Hi,

Brilliant footage and no doubt a fantastic experience for you however.. how did it end ??? I assume you couldn't move due to the position of the female ? Were you advised to stay or to move or was it a case of dealing with as it happens ????

Great experience Tom, to be so close.

Not wanting to be disrespectful, but you did put yourself and your passenger in extreme danger. That male could have taken out a window with consumate ease if he wanted to. There was an incident in another park recently where a male lion attacked a Toyota Hilux and wrecked the rear door.

Never under estimate the power of a male lion, especially one with large amounts of testosterone coursing through his veins!!

Wow!!! What an experience!!!!

Hi Tom, an experience you'll never forget for sure!!!

How did it start? I assume you were watching the lions and they moved closer to the car eventually being right next to it? Were there other lions nearby? And how did it end?

Please share the tale.

And post some of the pics. (Some people can't get on to You tube)

Tom,
Fantastic to be so close. No problems with the sighting and traffic!
