A bold cheetah jumped on the roof of a jeep in the Serengeti in Tanzania.

In the video, a cheetah is seen sitting on the spare tires of a jeep as people inside the jeep take photos of it.

The cheetah then jumps on the roof of the jeep as the photographers retreat back inside their vehicle.

The filmer explained that the three jeeps in their safari were able to approach two cheetahs very closely.

“This aroused the cheetahs' curiosity and they proceeded to get up and check us out,” the filmer explained. “One young cheetah jumped and you can see for yourself what happened.”

On safari in the Serengeti, we were in the Masai Kopjkes corner of the park with our driver-guides.

We came upon two cheetahs, young brothers they told us, who were sunning on a termite mound. The three jeeps in our group were able to approach very close. This aroused the cheetahs' curiosity and the proceeded to get up and check us out. One young cheetah jumped and you can see for yourself what happened.

Everyone ducked except driver-guide Peter Magoye who knew it was just a curious kitty.
