A pride of hungry lions attacked a jeep full of tourists
in Serengeti National Park, destroying tires and attempting to shatter windows
to get at the terrified humans inside.
Safari tour guide Emmanuel Bayo from Arusha, Tanzania,
witnessed the encounter from nearby and snapped off a few photos that showed
the lions in attack mode at the famous Tanzanian park.
“It was quite scary, really — the lions are very hungry
in the park and hadn’t had a kill for a while,” Bayo said. The truck was
driving past with people inside and the lions smelt the humans.
“Then they were trying to get inside for about an hour
and wreaked havoc.”
In addition to puncturing tires, the lions attempted to
smash the windows. Fortunately, the trucks are equipped with reinforced glass
and they weren’t able to succeed.
“It would have been a disaster if we hadn’t [had reinforced
glass],” Bayo said.
“It was scary but exhilarating. I think everyone should
come on safari with me to have these experiences!”
