In an attempt to flee a pack of hungry lions, a buffalo slams head-first into a safari van in this breath-taking sᴄᴇɴᴇ. Video shot in the north-eastern Sᴏᴜᴛʜ Aғʀɪᴄᴀn park of Kruger shows a lion clinging to the back of a buffalo as it runs directly into a jeep.

The ᴛᴇʀʀɪғɪᴇᴅ animal runs across the road in front of one of two tourist-filled cars in the video. A lion and two lionesses surround the buffalo, and the male pounces on it, digging his teeth and claws into its hide. The beast spins in a frenzy but is unable to free the lion that is holding him.

The safari truck’s rear bumper is struck by the buffalo’s horns as it makes one last ditch effort to get away, making a crunching noise as they ʜɪᴛ the brake lights. The lion is sᴛᴀʀᴛʟᴇd by the noise and flees, giving its victim a chance to escape.

However, the chase is far from done, and the pride dashes after the animal as it enters the plains. One of the biggest game reserves in Africa is Kruger National Park, which has a dense population of the Big 5 (lions, buffalo, rhinoceroses, elephants, and leopards).

Let’s watch this moment in the video below:
