A retired British tourist on safari with his wife captured the moment a pride of lions stalk and kill a giraffe in Tanzania.

Video captured by David Howard, 64, shows two lions tracking and then taking down a giraffe.

Howard, based in Nailsea, Bristol, was on the trip to the Ngorongoro Conservation area with his wife Grete.

He told Newsflare: "My wife and I were on a holiday in Tanzania arranged by Calabash African Adventures. On this particular morning, our excellent driver and guide Malisa went off-road to hunt for lions and found this pride stalking their prey.

"It was really interesting observing the tactics, joining the chase and witnessing the final moments, although sad for the giraffe. A number of lions benefitted for some days and later by other animals and birds in the food chain."
