Tourists face lioness trying to get into their vehicle

The video shows the scary moments when a lioness unexpectedly took a keen interest in a vehicle with two tourists inside.
Going on a self-drive safari to one of the many National Parks across Africa is always a great adventure and top of the list for most foreign tourists visiting the continent. While enjoying the freedom of exploring and searching for animals from the comfort of your own vehicle, tourists are always warned about being vigilant when it comes to wild animals. While the inside of your vehicle is the safest place to be, and getting out is forbidden, there might just be the rare occasion that something from the outside wants to get inside, like a lioness in the wild. Lions will almost always ignore vehicles, as they do not pose a threat and they don’t see it as food. The video shows one of those rare and unexpected moments when a lioness did not just ignore a tourist vehicle as they normally do. Scary enough, this lioness took a keen interest in the vehicle and its occupants. This behavior can be very dangerous as the lioness even tried to open the door with her paw and scratching at the window, seeing the people on the inside. Luckily the driver closed the window quick enough, as the lioness easily could have put her paw through the opening which could be devastating. The couple in the car kept calm while the lioness continued to curiously investigate their vehicle. After a few more sniffs, the lioness luckily lost interest and moved on, leaving two people with a close and very tense lion encounter in the African wild.
