Bush explorer Barbara Jensen Vorster, 57, was taking pictures of the pride from a 4x4 in the Mashatu Game Reserve in Botswana in July when the equipment fell to the ground.
Hearing the thud, a protective lioness jumped up and moved towards the vehicle, causing the exploration party to retreat.
The incredible footage shows the mum picking up the camera in her mouth by its lens and prowling off - before giving it to some little cubs to play with.
