Calm before storm: Violet D'Mello seconds before she is attacked by cheetah;

And her husband? He carried on taking photographs, saying he did not quite realise what was happening;


‘People all around were screaming, and I had no idea how I would escape. Something inside me just said, “Don’t move. Don’t move at all. Don’t react, just play dead”.

The housewife, from Aberdeen, was bleeding heavily from cuts to her legs, head and stomach, and needed stitches in hospital.


She said: ‘The doctor at the hospital said cheetahs usually aim for the stomach area and disembowel their victims, so I was lucky to be alive.’

Mr D’Mello, 64, a helicopter pilot who booked the month-long trip as a birthday gift for his wife, said he kept taking photos until he realised the cheetahs were biting her.

Terror: Violet is helpless as cheetahs tear at her head and body;

Bloody: Violet shows injuries as animals lurk before starting another attack;

He added: ‘I couldn’t do anything and the guide didn’t even have a stick to defend herself. In the end a woman from reception came running over with a stick which the guide used to frighten away the cheetahs. The attack must have been going on for three minutes at least by then.’

Ordeal: The attack lasted around three minutes and her husband captured these shots;

Vice-like grip: Violet is pinned to the ground by cheetah's jaws"
