A battle between a pride of lions, a herd of buffalo, and 2 crocodiles at a watering hole in South Africa’s Kruger National Park. Something like 300 in the wild life.

You captured a rareity in the making. This is what we as film artist, hope to acomplish. The substance of your video is unreplaceable….Good job!
La Razza Films
would have been better if you could edit out all the tourists yelling in the background.
hey cochin it would be much more ood if you would apreciate it!!!!
i meant good!!!
The most incredible video i have ever seen from Kruger – and the commentary was wonderful for a South African far from home – delighted, enthralled, thrilled, amazed. Got to hand it to the Buffels. I wonder if the calf survived.
That ROCKS!!! GREAT video!!!
Nature in it’s rawest form.
What fantastic footage & it must have been a privilege for those people to watch it live.
great film…excellent.couldnt believe coz usually once the king of the jungle gets you…you are toast,but big up to the buffs…they came back to claim thiers…and did it successfully.
wonder if the young buff survived,hope he did.
was hoping that the buff would thow one of those lionessess in the water with the croc…lol
that would have been funny to capture.
Excellent footage. Contrary to earlier comments, I think the tourists’ commentary makes the film more believable. Sure hope the calf survived, but it had to be in pretty bad shape after this ordeal.
Incredible footage of REAL life and death. No script, no dubbing, nothing but the real life reactions of wide eyed tourists watching what has to be the most dramatic and inspiring clip I have ever seen.
Congrats to the camera man who caught all of the appropiate action. I know I would have wet myself seeing this live.
Congratulatios and thanks for share this amazing video
Amazing footage because we humans don’t get to witness mother nature in action very often. To the buffalo, croc’s and lions….just another day in their life. Lions are the buffalos number one enemy (croc’s and humans are the only other ones, not counting hoof & mouth disease) and the cape buffalo are lions first choice on their menue.
wow, absolutely amazing!!!!
shows that evolution think bout the primtive wilderbeast int true lol those minds made straterge and that comes from a creator God
Who ever the dum tit is that said the video is Photoshoped should be photoshopped himself. And yes, it was shots in Kruger Park and not Serengeti. And the buffalo is only buffaloe and not Cape of ater buffalo.
It was great to see who the drama unfold. Keep it up.
Unable to view the video but enjoyed reading the
comments of those who viewed it!

Great example of the survival instinct at play. The buffaloes (first in search of food/water), the lions, the crocodiles, and the buffaloes again.
Thanks for filming and sharing. You allowed nature to take its course and just observed nature’s drama unfold. Good for you!
I was struck by the limited intelligence of the buffalo. They greatly outnumbered the lions, and were they a bit smarter, would have known to completely surround the group of lions and either kill them or drive them into the water to be fend with the crocodiles.
I guess that’s one reason why monkeys, rather than buffalo, eventually invented the internet.
The calf was lucky that cats play with their prey before eating it, otherwise it wouldn’t have survived until the rest of the herd came back. I agree with the person who said the buffalo were dumb; they practically walked right up to the lions at first!
Some one said the calf didn’t make it through the night. Is that true? Does anybody have any updates on the little guy?
It died a slow & painful death, with puncture wounds & bad infections, maggotts got into the the blood & could not walk anyfurther without the sickening screaming sound of a dieing calf. The croc got the rotton meat back once the scent got out. tenderised & ready to eat.
What did the one lion say to the other lion – HKGK.
An absolutely incredible piece of footage and filming. A demonstration of nature and life at its best. One otowf the basic function of life is to survive and the other to pass on the genes.
Survival is avoiding being eaten on one hand and finding something to eat on the other both clearly demonstrated here by the baffaloes the crocodiles and the lions.
Just beatiful and incredible!!! Thanks for sharing.
This is an amazing video i have ever seen.
This is the best and good example of unity.
buffalo Family done the good job.The best scene is that lion is flying by buffalo.Also great job of photographer.
An amazing video, I really enjoyed it. Fact is thought,…that calf probably did die from the injuries it recieved. Sad but nessesary for the full circle of life…
Incredible……..Wonderful…..Amazing……
INSPIRING………BE TOGETHER…. Union is strength……Let’s learn from wild animals….
well done cows,that showed them big cats, shame the fish had to get involved tho …..
It’s amazing. I like very much this vedio.
nice website
oops!!!! theregoes my food.. just think you are damn hungry and you sit to eat and your food runs away….
One of the most amazing wildlife videos ever…..
As far as i know, lions are afraid of the water, and they will never jump into it. Why did the pride all jumped into the water without hesitation just to maintain hold of the prey?
the one who took the video must have lots of money because of this video…shame on the lions…congrats buffs!
Absolutely amazing. South Africa rock on!

absolutely amazing what can you ad it is Mother NATURE in top form.Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing such an amazing video that I have never seen before. Great Job. Keep up the good work and keep trying to share such videos.

holly cow!, i never thought that would be possible, the lions are the bullies who eat the buffalo, wow, incredible. way to stand for yourselves buffalo
The buffs appeared to be hesitant at first to attack the lions, but they have learned they can fight and survive – fearing no one. The baby may have died, but the herd (and future babies) will last because of this experience.
I think society could learn a few things from Mother Nature. It takes a whole village to watch after and nurture our young, and protect them from predators such as drug dealers, pedifiles and the like. The whole herd came to fight for the life of the one child. If we want to save our children from self distruction and out of harms way. Our children are our future, God help us if they continue on as they are, for they will throw us older folks to the lions.
So the lions go hungry. what do they eat order a takeaway pizza? Next time the prey wont be lucky
fantastic rare video by the daring tourist. i thank them whole heartedly,by visualizing what is the true strenght of unity.
