The incredible scenes were caught on camera by student ranger Oliver Lane, at the Umlani Bushcamp in Timbavati Private Nature Reserve in Hoedspruit, in South Africa's Limpopo province.
Oliver had been on a morning game drive with his tracker Ephraim and guests from the lodge when they witnessed the brutal fight, which was just 25 metres from their vehicle.
