Remarkably, the mating lions appeared undisturbed by the spectacle of cars and curious onlookers. The traffic congestion endured for over 20 minutes as drivers attempted to create noise, hoping to coax the lions away from the road.

Catherine van Eyk, a 27-year-old tourist, was among the first witnesses on the scene and managed to capture the extraordinary event on camera.

Despite the increasing number of vehicles, Van Eyk expressed her astonishment at the lions’ nonchalant behavior, stating, “We anticipated them to retreat into the nearby bushes, away from the cars, but they seemed entirely unbothered until people began making noise.”

While the lions continued their intimate encounter, cars had to cautiously maneuver off the road, allowing only a single lane for passage.

Van Eyk also observed that there were no other lions in sight, explaining that mating pairs typically separate from their pride and reunite a few days after concluding their rendezvous.

The cars had to divert from the road as the lions engaged in their mating session for over 20 minutes, while the drivers attempted to create noise in the hopes of prompting the lions to move.

Catherine van Eyk, a 27-year-old tourist, recorded the mating episode and mentioned being one of the first vehicles to arrive at the scene. She disclosed that by the time the lions finished, approximately 120 cars had accumulated, resulting in a traffic jam.

Van Eyk expressed her surprise that the lions continued their mating despite being surrounded by hundreds of cars.

She further shared that she and other tourists observed the two lions for about 20 minutes, emphasizing her position as one of the initial 20 vehicles present at the scene.
