A safari ranger was left in terrible fear after he came face to face with a lion in the forest. Instead of taking to his heels, experienced guide Eric Ubisi was left shaking in his boots as the huge animal looked at him.

He was left totally in shock after the brush with death as the powerful predator walked past him instead of turning him to another meal.
The incident happend at the Manyeleti Game Reserve in Tintswalo, South Africa.


Eric escaped unharmed after the near-death encounter

Scaredy cat Eric was sat in the mounted seat of his parked jeep when the deadly beast stopped and stared directly at him on Monday afternoon.

The defenceless ranger completely froze, clutching his chair as his life passed before his eyes. Animal enthusiast Eric was with fellow guides David Jacobs and Anton van Loggerenberg when the incident took place.



He said: “I enjoyed it and knew the lion was going to walk past without harming me.


“I knew the lion was relaxed and I have been watching him every day since he was a cub and know his behaviour.


“They are our resident pride.”
