As traffic in the park built up, the pride caused a tailback of excited sightseers.
Mr and Mrs Campbell-Harris captured the scene just before 6am.


Mr Campbell-Harris, 47, who runs a real estate company, said: 'We were the only car there at the time and as it was early in the morning they were just waking up.
'We watched as the cubs became more playful - it was difficult to know what to focus on as there was
so much activity going on.

'Eventually cars started arriving from the opposite side and the expected traffic jam began.'
The couple from Somerset West, Western Cape, in South Africa were celebrating their 26th wedding
anniversary with a trip to the park.
They were treated to an adorable display as the playful cubs frolicked oblivious to the traffic building up.
