When a lioness approached the car in front during a day out at a safari park, Ben Govender grabbed his camera for an unmissable photo opportunity
The animal wandered over, put its paws on the side of the car and peered in at tourist Katherine Chappell, who had wound her window down for a close-up encounter.
But what Ben saw next will haunt him for the rest of his life.
Within seconds, Katherine, 29, was dead after the beast lunged at her without warning and tore a chunk out of her shoulder.
