Daring boda boda rider rides past lions

Elsewhere, another boda boda rider was captured in a jaw-dropping video as he sped past a pride of lions feasting on a fresh kill.

The bold rider transporting a heavy load of bananas sped past the lions, skillfully manoeuvring his way through.

The adrenaline-inducing video offered tourists a front-row seat to this extraordinary encounter as the lions, in their feeding frenzy, momentarily diverted their attention from the fresh carcass to the audacious boda rider who disrupted their mealtime.

Navigating the bumpy ride as lions closely watched him, netizens suggested that he was lucky as the lions would have been a victim of the predators if they had not had the meal.
