If it’s one of the Kruger lions then no surprise. The lions of Kruger National Park regularly kill and eat refugees crossing the border into South Africa from Mozambique. They cross at night to avoid authorities but unfortunately they have to contend with lions then.
Mabuasehube is always great for close encounters of the feline kind :-) We were there in september 2019 and camped at one of the Bosobogolo pan campsites. I was kind of frustrated because we saw lots of wildlife around the other pans, but not much at Bosobogolo. But the second night, after dinner, we were sitting near the campfire and finishing our wine when a big lion and lioness casually walked besides our chairs past the fire and into the bush... We were so flabbergasted that we didn't even move, and that might have been just the right thing to do. Can't wait to go back to that marvellous place!
Cheeky lion! 😂 He was probably looking for the truck keys. In all seriousness, Glad you were alert and saw him. Note to self: look for lions at night and sleep in the day…
If u were inside the tent zipped up, was there a possibility he would have tore down and entered inside?? If yes, why sleep on ground in a tent in those areas where lions stroll around?
Very unlikely. But he was curious, so it's possible he could have ripped a hole in the tent. I would camp there again in a ground tent, but definitely not such a thin one - I think I'd be safe in a decent canvas tent.
Even a rooftop tent isn't safe. A lion could climb up the bonnet and reach you easily. And that's not gonna be an easy escape at all. It's best if you avoid camping around wild creatures.
A rooftop tent is very safe. Or even a strong canvas ground tent. I think I am probably in more danger driving through Johannesburg than I am sleeping a night in the bush.
@@tanushreemajumder7872 Sure. There's always some risk with travel - long hours on the road, malaria in some places, scorpions etc. The danger from large wild animals is quite small. Mabuasehube is a bit different from most places - the lions have been fed by campers, so they visit the camps often. So you need to be extra careful. I will not go back in a flimsy tent like that one, but I would feel quite safe in a rooftop or canvas one.
My passion for lions is so so big i would have been startled for sure but i honestly would have loved this encounter. This is just a great expierience you all had. Thank you for sharing this👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥😎😎😎💜💙
Awesome, but scary experience! We were there in May and had the lions around our tents, this is what we wanted to experience, it was scary but we will go back!
Haha.... the coffee comment though! Let us just hope those lions do not get a taste for coffee or there will be blood in a fight for it. Lovely video. Thanks for sharing.
Dam that's scary because when that lion realized it was a tent he charged in there like he knew a victim is supposed to be in there. Makes you wonder if it's attacked campers or villagers which seems likely due to its behavior.
I don't think so. He was just curious and not afraid at all. He wasn't trying to hunt humans. But if there was someone in the tent it would have been a rather unpleasant way to wake up in the morning
@@MovingPicturesAfrica I agree lion was curious but when he realized it was a tent for a man he rushed in there so I'm sorry buddy but that lion knows that's man slipping and that's a meal. Shucks I wish I knew the name of video on RUclips about a documentary they did in some African village where those lions eat them because they go in their hut or straw house and I would've sent it to you if I knew the vid but sure if you watched it you will be having a different feeling for lions. Isn't it obvious when you see those English hunters go to Africa you should know they don't have those type of guns for nothing🤦🏼♂️
@@majorwoodyjoe7759 why go to environment where you know it's wild animals living and roaming around? It's not fair to kill animal when you in their environment and they acting how they suppose to.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, it's a gorgeous, precious sub - adult, 🦁🦁🦁🦁 whom was enjoying the toys he discovered, 🤣😂😅😆LOL,😀😃😄🤓 thank you ‼️‼️‼️‼️❕❕❕❕❗❗❗❗
@@Rain_berries yeah, we did after that 👍. This was my first night in that area so I was not fully aware of how habituated the lions were. I've camped a lot in areas with lions before but usually they keep their distance. The problem in Mabua is that it is very dry and some people leave water for the animals so they come right into the campsites.
Look up that incident in Namibia, where a couple were sleeping inside a large camper truck. The husband heard something scraping the vehicle, so he went to check the open window. He was nearly dragged out by a leopard which jumped up and grabbed him. His wife helped him fight it off and they slammed the window shut. He was badly injured but was lucky to survive. In southern tanzania man eating lions are known to claw their way through peoples houses to eat them! Nat Geo (i believe) did a documentary on this a few years back.
@@naturephotography8837 give me advice, at some point im going to rent a all terrain suv and traverse botswana namibia and tanzania at least those 3 as of now and i will 100% never sleep in a ground or roof top tent with big cats elephants and everything else lurking around thats just too much of a risk for me i dont want to be eaten alive. I plan on sleeping in the reclines seat or whatever is most comfortable with the windows shut and if its too hot just barely cracked. Let me know if my plan has any possible flaws i love these countries and want to travel them by car but i dont want to fall victim to the rightful rulers of that land.
@@ledpinkdefsabbathwhokinksd9733 Dont worry your chances of getting attacked are extremely low, provided you use common sense. The incidents i mentioned are very rare. I have slept in tents many times in Africa. But rooms are a good option if you are worried and ready to spend extra.
I would’ve loved to have sat in a chair with lion bite marks in it. I’d never throw that thing away. How cool would it be to have it at a cookout years later and all the kids and grandkids want to see the lion bites and hear the story
@@MovingPicturesAfrica u HAVE TO keep it!! I’m getting giddy just thinking abt how excited I’d be as a kid being shown camping gear with African Lion bite marks in it. Especially the bite marks of a curious young male
Saying hello , did you say hello as well ? Did you make her a friend for life ! It is obvious that you are still alive . What are you going to do the next time you see her ?
The question I’ll like to ask is why would you camp in the lion’s territory knowing fully well how territorial it can be. Lions are wild and most of the time hunting.
Most of the campsites in Botswana are unfenced. The lodge accommodation is often expensive. So the only way to visit many of these places is to camp. Lions usually avoid or ignore human camps.
That was one scary incident lots more could have gone wrong. What if you were still in the tent sleeping when lion arrived! Thank you for sending this link.
Well according to him the lion was just curious😆 so that's the impression that the lion is just gonna go in there and if he saw him sleeping the lion is just gonna cuddle with him and lick him. But hopefully you but definitely me know the lion would kill or maul whoever's in the tent.
@@reagilekatlholo7303 👍 brown hyenas? We had 2 of them chasing each other through the campsite as well. First time I have seen more than one at a time.
@@kerrinnaude2777 🙂yeah. Actually slept a couple more nights in the tent since we were joined by my parents who were in a campervan, so we could call them if we needed someone to see what was going on outside.

The urge to sing the lion sleeps tonight is never more than a *whim away*
The lion showed no fear of humans … now that’s a scary thought 😳
Yup it is
Humans are made of meat. Why fear a steak?
They see people on safari all the time so it's actually not much of a surprise
If it’s one of the Kruger lions then no surprise. The lions of Kruger National Park regularly kill and eat refugees crossing the border into South Africa from Mozambique. They cross at night to avoid authorities but unfortunately they have to contend with lions then.
@@jessehutchings mmm, I think lion see food supply chain

He got mad that he couldn’t go back in the tent so took your chair like a typical 4 year old having a tantrum. 😂 that’s a memory to last a lifetime.

Are the lions real wild or breaded and released ?
@@tpilot_error404 Real wild.
Why weren't you eaten?
@@bibbiana4Lyfe I don't know. But both lions looked young and well fed. If it was an old and wounded lion, the outcome could have been very different.
This was one curious and hungry young male lion that would’ve tried to take one of you down. Fun and scary lol. Stay safe out there
🙂 thanks Gabs

What a beautiful lion 🥰
He just wanted a ventilated chair and a nice cushion to setup his 'work from home' office
This lion is very inquisitive and wanted to see all your stuff in and around your tent!!! Very scary experience indeed!!
Yes, I think he was looking for water and when he did not find it he decided to play with our things.

Thank you Jesse
Lions seem to enjoy preventing people from getting coffee.
That is true
Funny & scary.
🙂 thanks Elly!
Great vid
Thank you
The chair looks like it was strike by bullet!!
This is another reason why RV camping is way a lot better than tent camping.

Damn what if you were still in the tent? It could come back when you are sleeping wtf??
the lion was like " you're trespassing"
You know this is really bad. Eating a pillow can cause a serious GI issue for this lion.....
At that time if u were there in the tent then instead of pillow u will be there 😂😂
Nicely done!
Thank you
Car burglar. Car turned on. Oh shit a coppa..... Phew, just the house owners. Yeah whatcha gona do about it hoomans? 🦁
It will be great experience to stay between the forest like that.
Glad the story stayed amusing,,,
no way!!! sleeping in that flimsy
tent...
Do u guys realize he is just a teenager that's why he is so curious and playful. Can't u tell by his light mane.
Yes, he is clearly a young male, but I still think this behaviour is a result of feeding, not just his playful nature
Prause God for directing his eyes to the lion. Don't be deceived, it was God,Creator of heaven/earth/sea/and springs of water, who kept them safe.

Lion wants your tent only for sleeping
Lion wants sleep only
He need pillows and sleeping bag, just gift him okay? He sleep on land so long this is his only chance
He just wants to play.
Saying hello , did you say hello as well ? Did you make her a friend for life ! It is obvious that you are still alive . What are you going to do the next time you see her ?
You need a portable cyclone fence and set your tent up inside that🤣
