Two friends on safari were left stunned after a lioness suddenly climbed into their truck.

JC Oosthuizen and Keagen Ross were touring a game reserve when the big cat approached them.

They immediately started filming the encounter with excitement and apprehension.

The lioness looked at the pair through their closed windows.

It then hopped on its hind legs and rested its paws on the back of the pickup truck.

It eyed the cameraperson before deciding to jump into the back of the truck.

The fearsome animal continued to sniff the windows, apparently looking for a way to get inside.

The encounter was filmed during a self-drive safari in South Africa, as reported on What’s The Jam.

He also said that the lioness stayed with them for around 10 minutes.

JC, a keen angler, posted the video on his TikTok page where it went viral with 118,000 views and hundreds of comments.
