A group of tourists on safari in South Africa have met their match while driving through a remote part of the country in their Land Rover.
While wildlife-spotting on a dirt road near Durban, a group of tourists were filmed jumping into their cars and trying to flee when a giant 5m-long python made its way on to the bonnet of the car.
