Wildebeests couldn’t see 4 lionesses lying on the road right in front, so they kept walking towards them. Turns out that it wasn’t all the lions, and danger was even closer!
How it Began

Luke, was out on safari and managed to track 5 lionesses. Seeing lions is exciting, every time, but better yet, they had them walking right on the sand road. At this point no one (not even the lions) could have predicted what was up the road, heading their way.
There was Something More
After rounding a slight bend in the road, the lions’ behavior changed. All of them became much more tense and focused. They were onto something, and it was close! Four of the lionesses crouched into a pouncing position, while one of them broke off the road and into the bush.
The anticipation on the safari vehicle was through the roof. What was heading their way? And then they came… 4 wildebeests, walking blissfully right toward the calculating lionesses. The lions were only a few meters away, but their fur blended so well with the sand road that the wildebeests had no idea.
Walking Into Lions
The poor wildebeests were walking right into a trap, but even at this point, it wasn’t as clear-cut as most would think. The plan wasn’t to let dinner stroll right into them, no, there was more to it, and danger was closer to the wildebeests than the camera could tell.
WATCH:
The wildebeests were getting nail-bitingly close, but before they could take another step, something came charging at them from the bushes! It was the lioness who had broken away from her sisters. She had circled through the bush to flank the wildebeests.
