Open sesame: It tugs open the door leaving the occupants sitting in stunned disbelief before they drive off

The drama was played out at Lion Safari Park in Johannesburg, South Africa, and captured on camera by British tourist Richard Holden, who was in the car behind.

'But they must have been panicking because they didn't drive off straight away,' said Mr Holden, from Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire. 'If that had been me, I would have hit the gas.'

At the start of the trail, visitors are warned to lock windows and doors and take off all removable items such as aerials.
