Commentators flooded the video's comment section with expressions of alarm and critique. "Why can't people maintain decorum during safaris? Their noises make wild animals uncomfortable... these sorts of people should be banned from entering the forest," remarked one viewer, reflecting widespread concerns about tourist behavior in wildlife habitats.

"It's crucial to establish behavioral guidelines for tourists," urged another commenter, highlighting the need for better management of wildlife encounters to ensure both human safety and animal welfare.

Others expressed outright dismay. "Horrible! This needs to stop," wrote one viewer, while another decried it as "horrible tourism." The incident has sparked calls for accountability, with demands for action against those responsible for supervising wildlife interactions.

"Whoever is in charge, such incidents demand strict penalties. The vehicle involved should be blacklisted for life," demanded a concerned user, underscoring the gravity of mishandling wildlife encounters.

Amidst varied reactions, some viewers took a lighter stance, with one commenting humorously, "Even the lion is enjoying the show."a
