This Family Ignored Safety Instructions at the Safari and Will Never Do It Again
There is a reason why it's forbidden to leave your car while out in a safari park. For one family of tourists, they learned this the hard way after they were attacked by a group of cheetahs. Watch the video to see the scene unfold!
A safari park in the Netherlands - aptly named SafariPark, how original - follows the same rule as any other safari park: don't leave your car. However, one French family of tourists decided this didn’t apply to them. These parents, accompanied by their young children, got out of their car on numerous occasions to go and meet the cheetahs. Who could've guessed how this would end?

The rules at SafariPark, like any other safari park, are strict. For the obvious (but apparently not so obvious for everyone) safety reasons, visitors are completely forbidden from leaving their vehicle or opening their windows and their doors should also be locked.
The manager of the park was very surprised by what these visitors had done. 'The family was extremely lucky', he said because the predators had already been fed by the trainers and so they weren’t hungry.
