British tourist Steve Haley was lucky to experience a very close encounter with a pride of majestic lionesses.

Footage, captured in Kruger National Park in South Africa, shows the lionesses walking down a road and passing by just a few inches from the tourist’s car.

Steve Haley later wrote online: "I witnessed this incredible Lion Pride encounter when I was driving past Kumana dam on my way back to Satara campsite where I was spending 8 weeks alone camping in the park.

''I was completely alone and this was the first time I had witnessed anything like this and to see how big these beautiful big cats were up close was insane and a once in a lifetime moment.

''I didn't know what to do. I'm glad I froze and stayed and continued filming.''

The clip was captured on September 1.

Steve Haley from England filmed this amazing sighting in South Africa's Kruger Park.

As you can see in the clip I was completely alone and this was the first time I had witnessed anything like this and to see how big these beautiful big cats were up close was insane and a once in a lifetime moment! As you can tell by the commentary I didn't know what to do? Start the engine and close the window or drive off?
Im glad I froze and stayed and continued filming and my friends think my actions and commentary are hilarious!" - video owner
