Briton Carolyn Dunford, 23, who is completing an internship at Kruger National Park, captured the bloody drama early Friday morning along with wide-eyed nature-lovers - some with their windows open - who couldn't quite believe their luck.
'The kudu (a type of antelope) burst from the bushes and the lions chased it into the cars,' she said. 'The first lion grabbed onto its back and the second came in and grabbed its throat. They both tackled it.'
Miss Dunford, a biology graduate from Romsey, Hampshire, was taking an early morning drive through the park - one of the largest game reserves in Africa - when she came across the rare scene and pulled out her camera.
The amateur photographer told Source: 'I think I had been driving for about 45 minutes and at about 7.45am, I saw a group of cars crawling along.
'I pulled up with them and there were the two lions walking towards me.
'One of them saw the kudu in the bushes and I saw the lion crouch.'
She described seeing the terrified kudu bolt towards the cars, losing its balance in the panic and falling. See photos from the scene.
