WATCH: Campers' horror as lions try to get into tents
Watch as lions stalk and attempt to invade a campsite, leaving the campers shaken and screaming for their lives.
A heart-stopping video of ferocious lions attempting to invade the tents of unsuspecting campers has left social media users utterly shaken.
The chilling two-minute clip, shared on TikTok by @elleafricasafaris, shows the lions stealthily approaching two tents, their eyes fixed intently on their potential prey.
One curious lion boldly attempts to make its way into a tent, its paws probing the fabric with an unnerving gentleness.
The campers watch in horror as the lions sniff and circle their temporary shelters.
After a tense standoff, the powerful animals suddenly retreat, only to reappear moments later, their growls growing louder and more menacing.
The campers scream in panic, frantically pleading with the lions to verschwinden (German for disappear).
In a heart-pounding moment, a male lion lunges at a tent, its claws getting stuck in the fabric.
Eventually, the lions abandon their hunt and leave the traumatised campers to breathe a sigh of relief.
The clip has sparked a flurry of questions on social media, with many wondering why the campers recklessly chose to set up camp in an area known to be inhabited by lions.

“First of all who is camping where there are lions?” asks Westcott2.
“Does the lion understand the meaning of hey?” Silver khoza jokes.
“That was very brave to get out of the tent,” Kits notes.
While marc velez488 wants to know: “Why would you ever go camping where lions run free?”
