A pride of lions were caught on camera blocking a road with their cubs, causing traffic either side.

Whilst driving through Kruger National park on August 20th, Lauren Winslow-Llewellyn spotted the lions laying down in the middle of the road.

Unbothered by the stream of cars beside them building up on the busy road, the pride of nine lions and cubs just continued to relax in the sun.

33-year-old Laura from Bristol, who is currently travelling around South Africa said: "I felt pure adrenaline and excitement.

"We had to quickly close the windows as they were right next to us and being boisterous with one another, showing their teeth and growling.

"But it was an incredible encounter…we couldn’t stop smiling!"
