Cheetah surprises guests

Guests at the umVangati House in the Blyde River Canyon region next to the Kruger National Park didn’t know to expect a ‘wild’ visitor as they sat down for breakfast one morning.

In a miraculous moment captured on camera, a CHEETAH was seen strutting its way into the safari lodge before stumbling upon some surprised guests.

As reported by IOL, the video titled “King of Speed”, was posted by Jaco Geldenhuys, @jacog9, on TikTok and clearly shows an adult male cheetah casually walking into the Mpumalanga villa.

The cheetah is seen walking around the lounge area before stopping to check out the guests at a dining table – who were clearly trying to stay as calm as possible.

Check out the TikTok video below:

The video has garnered over 200 000 views on the social media platform, with some TikTok users leaving some hilariously relatable comments:

wendyjansevanrens said: “If anyone asks me again if the Lions or cheetahs walk in the streets, I will send them this video!🤣🤣🤣”

Nelz said what we were all thinking: “Why are you all calm? My sister there with the pink attire, why are you composed?? 😭I would’ve scromed 😂😂”

hugorosmom joked: “The cheetah walking through the lounge like it’s the most natural thing ever 🤣”

Another TikTok user pointed out ANOTHER wild creature in the video, that many would have missed.

“The bobcat in the background as well. Wild experience this” said Ora
