This is the jaw-dropping moment a French family narrowly escapes being attacked by cheetahs in a Dutch safari park.
Video footage filmed by a witness shows the tourists being chased by the cheetahs after getting out of their car to take photos.
Beekse Bergen is a drive-through African wildlife safaripark, in the south of the Netherlands, where visitors are under strict instruction not to leave their cars, reports Daily Mail.
However, a family of five appears to have missed this instruction and is seen getting out in the middle of the park where some cheetahs are sunning themselves - twice.
The tourists filming in the car behind them cannot believe their eyes when the group climb out of a French-registered car to take snaps of the predators.
They then drive a little further down the road and get out again, stepping onto a small hill a few dozen feet away from where the cheetahs are resting.
Unsurprisingly, the cheetahs - the world's fastest land animal - gets up and starts to run towards the group, seemingly made up of three adults and two children.
The tourists spot the cheetahs at the last minute and make a panicked dash for the car.
