Hyena Walks Right into a Pride of Lions

Louis Le Roux (61) was on vacation at Gharagab in the Kgalagadi National Park when this incredible sighting unfolded.

LatestSightings.com recalls his story: “160km North of Nossob, the camp was hot and very dry. The last 34km 4x4 track from Unions End to Gharagab took us 2.5 hrs due to road condition and we enjoying the different scenery of the Red Kalahari.

Kraai (my wife and best friend of 41 years) and I, were booked into a cabin at Gharagab. On our arrival at 2pm the camp was quiet and it was cooking hot. During the evening we saw that there was a brown and also a spotted hyena at water hole with a few springbok and an eland in the background. The eland was very nervous and disappeared into the night without a sip of water. It was obvious that there were predators roaming this area as all animals were extremely cautious.
At 03h30 next morning we were woken by lion roars somewhere in the vicinity. We both smiled and knew that was why we came all the way to Gharagab on the bad Kgalagadi roads. I decided to sit outside on the wood deck merely a meter above ground level and listen to the night sounds but my wife reprimanded me and said it was too dangerous. It was awfully quiet so I went back to bed. At 05h00, I was woken by “something” and I felt uneasy, what had woken me? I walked out onto the wooden deck from where I could clearly see the water hole. My neck hair raised as I became aware of “something” and a strange smell was in the air but it was dark and I could not see anything.
I was peering into the night when I noticed movement happening in front of the deck. There they were, lions… Once I regained control of my heart beat and breathing rhythm, I smelt the familiar scent of them. By now all my senses were awakened and I was immediately aware of the potential risk and danger so close by. I moved slowly back into the cabin, which felt like eternity, only 3-4 steps. The damn wood floor of the cabin made an awful lot of noise, each heart beat was a canon sound against my ribs case. Kraai was sitting in her bed and asked in a lowered voice “Lou is it you, what’s wrong?”. From the open cabin door we were watching the lions and attempting to close the cabin door but with each movement and noise the lioness closest to the deck was looking right into my eyes. After a few minutes we realized that 3 lionesses were right in front of our wood deck. Previously we had experienced a close encounter with lions in the central Kalahari and we had no desire to repeat such experience. Once in a lifetime is too much. We stood dead still watching these lions less than 5m from our flimsy wood cabin, not out of curiosity but out of fear and respect.
Times like these feel like an eternity and all sorts of thoughts flash through one’s mind. Dawn was breaking fast. We stood there exchanging eye contact with one another too scared to move or make a sound. Just before sun rise lionesses walked down to the waterhole and another 3 lionesses joined the ones in front of our cabin. We never even noticed these lionesses and again heart pounding and breathing out of control. For the 3rd time within an hour I was forced to regain self-control. I grabbed my video camera and videoed the 6 x lions at the water hole. From the water hole all 6 x lionesses walked back to the 4 x cabins and passed between cabin 4 and 3. As I was videoing the lions my wife mentioned that a brown hyena was casually walking past our cabin down to the water hole. The lions were now behind our cabin on the crest of the dune and were looking in all directions when they spotted the hyena at the water hole. The lions used our cabin as shelter to stalk the hyena. It was the hyena’s lucky day as he managed to escape the great chase of the pride.
I have realized that any safari in Africa is a bucket list to millions of people and this fact made me understand what a privilege it is to be a true African. Getting into our 4x4 and towing our off-road caravan into any direction we choose with the benefit of nature right on our door step is an amazing blessing”.

They were obviously on the prowl, not full. However, even though lions can reach speeds of up to 50 mph, they lack in stamina and they can do it in bursts. If they are not successful during the first try, most animals can outran them. Not only that but it takes awhile for them to recuperate.

You could tell the one lion definitely respected the jaws of that hyena because she slowed down both times the hyena somewhat turned around.

That’s cool to see a striped hyena. They’re usually very secluded and rare

When you have that many lions chasing you, you learn how to run real fast!

[@albertosei8788]

Exactly...😂😂

[@killadawgs456]

The first lioness could have tripped the hyena up real quick but backed off...that shows u what kind of bite the hyena has!!

I think they could’ve caught that rascal, but their hearts didn’t seem to be in it. Hyena must not taste that great.

[@rohandsouza3563]

They don't eat them but if they come across one, they kill it.

[@hamzamansouri2678]

U smart the other commenting dumb shit

[@mu0325]

Hyenas do kill and eat lion cubs, that’s why lions kill them. Also, lions usually give hyenas a fatal injury and leave them to die slowly, they don’t finish them. They usually sever their spine and leave them to die.

[@peachesjeter5480]

Exactly if they really wanted that hyena they could’ve caught it,I think they just wanted to scare it away hyenas can’t outrun lions. you can even see the lions slowing down.

[@OmegaDarkMage]

Warthogs taste way better, yummy

This happens to me every time I wander the mall parking lot trying to find my car. I feel ya Hynie!

Right when the hyena took off he slipped a little bit and i thought it was done! don't look back just keep going!

When the Lions are drinking in a bar, their favorite joke is "So a Hyena walks into a pride of Lions...."

[@pjdownsouth1435]

First lion: damn I need to work out more. Hyena: laughing at you bro...see ya

[@raulmartinez-sd4ph]

These lions must be full, because in other circumstances that hyena would've been eaten

[@panadaboy5699]

Lions dont eat other predators unless they are starving

[@ivansalazar5448]

@Jimmy Jenns U are right! Unless utterly desperate for a meal!

[@musaa1734]

@Jimmy Jenns yeah they wont eat it cuz it taste so bad

[@jeffsellark5421]

they kill the hyena and not eat it, they left it there to send a message to other hyena

[@ieetyou]

Animals in nature avoid any unnecessary fight that poses even a 1% chance of serious or hindering injury. No meal is ever worth never getting another one.

[@rowlandbuck2703]

They didn’t miss anything. That was all play. Closest lion could have killed easily if she wanted to. She actually slowed down.

[@nagone11]

That hyena was like: It was such a groovy day until......!
