Dramatic footage shows the moment a herd of buffalo charged to the rescue of a stricken bull after it came under attack from a pride of lions. 

Several of the buffalo ran at the lions and one of the big cats was thrown into the air on their horns. 

The footage was captured by tour guide Jonty Bozas on August 22 as he was leading  a group of tourists through the MalaMala Game Reserve in South Africa

At one stage it appeared the buffalo was doomed because of the number of lions attacking it

During the safari, Mr Bozas saw a pride of nine lions stalking the buffalo. 

The lions attempted to target a single victim, trying to bring down the large animal by jumping on its back while biting its feet and flanks. 

It appeared that the struggling buffalo was going to fall victim to the adult lions until another of the herd charged in and hit one of the lions with its horns
