This is the shocking moment a brazen driver slapped a tourist almost to the ground in Maasai Mara National Reserve.
In a video that surfaced online, the drama occurred between the two men after engaging in a heated argument when the driver slaps the tourist in unclear circumstances.
Operations at the scene were paralysed for close to an hour as onlookers tried to get in between the two men trying to prevent the situation from escalating any further.
Despite the intervention of the onlookers , the driver who is holding a machete on one hand is still able to land a second jab on the tourist.
The other men are eventually able to separate the two into their separate vehicles.

However, the two continue shouting at each other and at this point the driver removes a machete from his vehicle.
He tries to make his way to the tourist but the onlookers block him from accessing Murage.
“Na ako na panga (He has a machete),” another tourist out of the camera view is heard shouting.
