WATCH | Hyena and baboon face off in Kruger National Park

Visitors to the Kruger National Park got a close-up view of nature when a hyena was confronted by a baboon as he took a leisurely walk between the cars.

Sensing danger nearby, the hyena is seen looking around in the tall grass beside the road before darting off in the opposite direction. A brazen baboon then follows him in pursuit.

The videographer says that the encounter happened near Lower Sabie Rest Camp in the Kruger National Park.
