A couple's GoPro cameras caught the moment a lion attacked a group of riders on a horseback safari.
According to post on YouTube, the couple were riding in the grasslan in the Okavango Delta in Botswana when their guide spotted a male lion on the group's left. As they turned to ride away from it, a lioness popped out of the nearby bushes and pursued the group.
"One of the horses cut in front of my husband's horse, and he pushed off to avoid potentially getting trampled underfoot. When he emerged from the water, he found himself virtually face to face with the lioness. Luckily, she decided he wasn't the lunch she wanted and he was able to safely retreat back to our guide."
