It is safe to say that most of us have lost our cool when stuck in traffic because of infuriating roadworks or bumper to bumper traffic.

However, even the most stone-hearted of us would have melted inside if we came face to face with this adorable sight.

A lion pride caused the cutest roadblock ever after taking a quick break on a piece of tarmac at the Kruger National Park in South Africa.

The adorable scene was captured by 54-year-old gym instructor Elsa de Kock, who was visiting the famed park with her camera and had been hoping to get some up close and personal photographs during her trip.

And she couldn’t have been happier with the results after coming across the family of lions, made up of two females and six cubs laying in the road.

She explained how, for a long time, the Lion family was very relaxed, and were watching tourists without any sign of disturbance, before finally walking off together into the bush, allowing the visitors to eventually get past.
