Video of three lions rubbing up against a small car has been released by wildlife website Latest Sightings. Latest Sightings shares videos captured by visitors to the Kruger Park.
The footage was captured by 24-year-old, candidate attorney, Simone van Schalkwyk, while on a game drive near Lower Sabie, in the Kruger National Park.
“We had gone out on a very early morning game drive, as the only thing I wanted from our trip was to see big male lions.
“After passing some buffalo dung we carried on driving and then we saw these beautiful male lions walking in the road – finally, we had found them,” says Van Schalkwyk.
The lions were lying in the grass next to the road when the car approached.
“They came right up to my window looking right at me and even rubbed themselves against the bonnet. The emotions were unreal and slightly mixed, I was filled with excitement as well as a bit of fear seeing these male lions up close.”
After the lions had rubbed themselves against the vehicle, the felines eventually lost interest and wandered off.
