Way too close being around lions, just as well they had a full belly otherwise it would have been a smorgasbord on wheels!

I've read that Kruger has around 2000 lions now.
This was WAY too close for comfort but did yield some impressive footage.

Book your Stay at Kruger's? AHHH - NO!
That was a LOT of maned lions in a very small area.

Was thinking the same thing watching that video.. wondering if ANYONE was armed ..considering where this occurred guessing probably not.. YES, way to many lions in way to close of distance.. If I want that kind of excitement I can just drive an hour south of here and try to tickly a bison's nose..

I would expect trying to milk a bison cow, might be a close second.
It is not advisable for moose, either.
Some guys use "moose milk" for patch lube. I'm not sure how they get it - unless it is of chemical composition. 
(H2O and Water Soluble Oil)

Yep the tracker on the bullbar chair is only about a foot from an angry lion. Whick ignores him. And fighting lions at times at either side.
But what an experience. If that video footage was better taken, it would have been worth something. A video camera each direction continually filming would have great.
Four maned lions. It seems two challengers and two pride lions. Not sure which is which at times. Even the lionesses get involved. I guess against a challenger. But is it?
The cubs all go running off at the beginning. Probably instinctive and for good reason.
Towards the end a lion is seen running off with something in its mouth. An antelope part, or a cub? Then chased by score lion.
Are the challengers after the pride of just to steal food? One of the pride lions is very protective of his meaty skeleton bones.
I wonder if Kruger is where we see photos of hordes of maned lions together? In such an environment there must be lots of lion fights.
