According to the organizers, the Masai Mara stopover was a scheduled part of the race, giving participants a chance to see Kenya’s wildlife, including the famous Big Five.

One of the guests, Milan Djordjevic Crni, later shared his experience on social media, calling it “the best and the scariest experience ever.”

Thankfully, no one was hurt, but a few guests couldn’t help but wonder if the whole thing was a set-up. Some even suspected the rangers and rally organizers might have staged the lion’s appearance as a prank to add some extra excitement to the event.
