The lion wanders close to the safari group and approaches a man sitting in a chair at the front of the safari vehicle. The animal sniffs at the man from about a foot away, but doesn't make any aggressive moves.
The filmer said the ranger explained that by keeping still during the encounter, he allowed the lion to believe he was a part of the vehicle instead of potential prey.
