A family on vacation in the Netherlands barely avoided being at.t.acked by cheetahs after getting out of their vehicle at the Beekse Bergen safari park. They were with their kids and got out of their car to have a close look at the animals.

The Dutch guests who were watching from their car were shocked by what they saw and recorded the scary event on video.

Two parents and a youngster are seen stepping out of their vehicle in the camera clip to get a better look at a group of cheetahs, much to the chagrin of the Dutch people driving behind them.

But, thankfully, nothing bad happens, and the family gets back in their vehicle and drives away, much to the delight of the Dutch family, who are heard stating that the folks are extremely lucky.

However, the same visitors leave their vehicle for the second time seconds later. That’s when the Dutch drivers observe the cheetahs going into at-tack gear and closing in on the unsuspecting visitors.

The family can be seen rounding up their kids and running to their car, just getting away from the cheetahs in time.

According to various accounts, the safari park has strict laws that prohibit anyone from exiting their vehicle within the park.All over the park, the rules and dangers are clearly written and explained in more than one language.

A former employee said, “All automobiles go through a check control where the car is searched from the exterior for anything that might injure the animals.” And the individuals in the automobile are given a verbal description of the hazards, what may happen, and what they should not do. ”
