When they went on a safari, a friendly cheetah jumped into their car to say hi!

They wanted to get close, but maybe not THIS close. 

This curious cheetah decided to give a group of tourists driving through the Masai Mara game reserve in Kenya an extra-special greeting.

Ireland resident Mickey McCaldin locked eyes with the big cat when he made his way toward their ride.

The cheetah's buds waz purrrfectly content just chilling on the roof, but this guy wanted a closer look.

"Why hello human! Welcome to my home land. May I sit in your lap and rub your face? I like rubbing faces. It iz my favorite! Also, do you haz any noms on you?"

The human waz a bit tense, and worried waz quite concerned that "it might try and sit in his lap."

The cheetah spent a few minutes riding around with the humans until he decided to jump out to go about hiz day.

The cheetah will probably forget about hiz brief encounter with these humans, but I iz pretty sure that these humans will never forget it!
