A couple who have visited the Kruger National Park looking for lions have failed, but got through a shocking experience. A snake put itself to their car hood.

Marlene Swart, 38 and Leon Swanepoel went to the Kruger National Park in hopes of witnessing lions.

When they stopped the car to speak with some safari-goers, someone notified them that there is a huge snake on the grass. When they looked for the snake, it made straight underneath their car. When it didn’t reappear, the couple took the courage to look at their car hood and surprisingly, the snake was there. It is relaxing and was just on top of the engine.

The pair had no choice, but to drive three miles up to the nearest look out before attempting to remove the snake away.

“It was certainly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I was totally in shock and terrified”, Miss Swart said. “Later that evening we had a good chuckle about the reactions of the bystanders when it exited the vehicle”. She added.

Kruger National Park is located at the South Africa. It covers 19,485 square kilometers game reserves in Africa. The largest one in Africa.
