Getting close to the magnificent wild animals of the African bush is what a safari trip is all about…but maybe not this close.
A pair of cheetahs decided the roof of a safari truck was the best place to survey their territory, providing a wonderful, if a little nerve-racking, opportunity for photographers aboard the truck.
One of the big cats also strolled along the roof to take a closer look at the tourists.
Photographer Paul Mahagi, said: ‘I was watching them for more than 15 minutes – this is not something that happens all the time.’
Cheetahs are not normally dangerous to humans, but could bite if alarmed.

Cheetahs are not normally dangerous to humans, but could bite if alarmed. Each year, there are only a few attacks, most of which are non-fatal. Almost all attacks are the result of aggravated cheetahs in captivity
