When you’re on a game drive, it’s always a thrill to get up close and personal with the animals, but according to Good Things Guy, a group of tourists got more than they bargained for when a cheetah literally hopped right into the back of their vehicle.

The video that has gone viral shows the cheetah taking a look around the back of their vehicle while the tourists sit there, trying not to move a muscle.

It is reported that the group's guide told them to remain calm, stay completely quiet, and avoid making eye contact with the wild animal. 

Thankfully, 10 minutes later, which probably felt like hours, the cheetah left and the tourists let out a deep sigh of relief.

This must have been the longest 10 minutes of their lives!
