I'm certainly no expert on wildlife photography, but I did go on my first safari in December - and I remember the game guides being adamant about “not breaking the line of the vehicle” (i.e. not standing up or sticking your arms out, and so forth). That video looks like a chance for a mauling (or a death), or even more sadly – the death of one of the lions. ☼ Christian D. ☼

The risk to both cameraman and lion is just way too great. Foolish beyond words. -- jgr

Kinda on the fence with this one. But Thanks for shareing, it was cool to see. If you are going to walk on thin ice you might as well dance!
