Tourists on safari at South Africa's Kruger National Park who thought they were witnessing the harsh realities of nature when they spotted a herd of impalas being chased down by two hungry cheetah were left "dumbstruck" when one of the impalas decided to break the rules by diving out of harm's way straight into one of the idling cars.

Officials from the Singita Game Reserve at Kruger National Park in South Africa say it was their field guide who was caught on camera charging at an elephant while apparently under the influence of alcohol.
