Lion licks water off camper’s tent

On the list of sights you never want to experience as a new camper, we think the one featured this video is pretty close to the top.

Francie Lubbe and her partner were camping in Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park in Botswana when they noticed something strange happening on the mesh barrier of their tent.

Two lionesses lick water off the tents. Lubbe shows incredible poise to capture the remarkable footage – we would’ve been quaking in our boots! 

Lubbe posted the footage on Facebook shortly after.

"What a privilege. It rained during the night and three lioness licking the water from the tent," she wrote in another post with the below photograph.

We’re glad they saw it that way. We would have been scared out of our skins!

Have you ever seen a lion, or any other huge animal in real life? How did you react and did anything remarkable happen that you’d like to share?

Let us know in the comments.
