VIDEO: Lion attacks riders on horseback safari

"When he emerged from the water, he found himself virtually face to face with the lioness."

“We were riding in the grassland and our guide suddenly saw a male lion which was previously hidden behind a termite mound. When we turned to ride away from it, a lioness appeared out from behind some bushes and began to chase our group!”

One of the horses cut in front of my husband’s horse, and he pushed off to avoid potentially getting trampled underfoot. When he emerged from the water, he found himself virtually face to face with the lioness. Luckily, she decided he wasn’t the lunch she wanted and he was able to safely retreat back to our guide. This encounter occurred last October in the Okavango Delta in Botswana.” – video owner.
