Thabane Malatji was one of the lucky visitors to Kruger National Park who witnessed a kill right on the road near Crocodile Bridge. Safari-goers were parked at Gezanftombi watching a cheetah stalk a herd of impala.

The chase turned towards the road and the cheetah brought down an impala ewe in the middle of the traffic.

Malatji shared the video with Latest Sightings.

It is against the rules to hang out of vehicles in the park as many of the visitors can be seen doing in the video.
