Over a decade ago, there was an epic battle between lions, buffaloes and a crocodile at a waterhole called Transport dam. That video was aptly named Battle at Kruger. Well, 10 years later, the next generations of lions at Transport Dam recently faced their own failed hunt due to a huge herd of buffalo and crocodiles interfering!
Thuli Khumalo, head of Atamela Tours, captured this heart-pumping sighting while on a tour to the Kruger National Park.
After lunch at Skukuza Rest Camp, Atamela’s game drive full of tourists arrived at the world-famous Transport Dam, in the hopes of seeing some action. Little did they know what they were actually in for.
They spotted a pride of lions lying in the shade, overlooking the water.
If you spot lions hiding in the shade at a waterhole, it is often a good idea to stick around. Lions are opportunistic, so they will often try and hunt any animal that comes close enough.
Surely enough, a large herd of impala went down to the water and the lions gave chase! The impalas were too fast for the lions, but at the edge of the water, they spotted an old buffalo bull.
The lions chased that buffalo and it ran into the water where out of nowhere, a crocodile starts taking a go at the already targeted buffalo.
The buffalo decides that the water is probably more dangerous than on land, where it can potentially outrun the pride of lions that are now waiting for him to re-emerge from the water.
As soon as the buffalo hit the surface, he makes a run for it, with the lions following close on its tail.
When buffaloes are under threat, they will call for help. Luckily, for this buffalo, his calls were answered!
A massive herd of buffalo that was on its way to the dam saw the commotion and chased the lions away, saving the life of fellow buffalo, unbeknown to us if it is from the same herd.

Bearded Buffalo Ox very strong like iron ball. Crocodile also strong like rubber rat. Bearded Buffalo Ox not clever like crab. Crab happy. Rat eat wheat and barley. Lion eat meats and chickens. Bearded Buffalo Ox eat grass and weeds. Ram eats anything. Elephant trumpet all run away.
Great picture of life and how you must keep moving and fighting to to taste a bit of victory and the process continues…
Thank God for Wildlife Tourism!
1st off, that buffalo looked too strong for lions to bring down
It's funny how they remind me of human's together they're tough by them selves or end up being out numbered they run like whimps
2:15 Lion :That beast beat the crocodile in the water . No chance for us .Crocodil: Those 6 pussy cats cannot hunt 1 buffalo in dry land . Buffalo : I'm the king of land and water.stupid lizard.
