An impatient safari tourist drove into a lion crossing a road so he could overtake, a video shows.
Safraaz Suliman was driving through the Kruger National Park, South Africa, on 2 August when a pride of lions walked across the tarmac.
Footage captures the moment a Toyota Land Cruiser SUV weaves through traffic trying to get a head start.
The driver then bumps into the back of one of the lionesses causing it to run off the tarmac startled.
Safraaz said: “The lioness was unaware of the approaching vehicle and subsequently faced the consequences of the impatient driver attempting to pass.
“We are guests in the animals' natural habitats and should therefore approach them with respect.”
