An upset daughter gives her parents a piece of her mind after a lion charges the family's car in the Kruger National Park.

According to the post on the Kruger National Park YouTube account, the family spotted the lions next to the road. "After following them for a while, the male lion got a bit agitated with us and attacked/charged our car. Amazing but scary experience!"


Of course, its not only cars that have been targeted by lions. Angelo & Heulwen shared this video of a lion charging a group on a walking safari in the Greater Kruger National Park area when they came across two lions mating. One of them mock-charged the group.


"What I didn't film was even more terrifying events of having to scramble up a tree just after this to escape a herd of buffalo who heard the commotion. And then later coming across another lion who (abnormally) stalked and charged us (no mock charge). You know it was serious when your guide looks visibly shaken! Later the Lion was airlifted far away by rangers from any human contact. Anyway it was an exciting trip!"
