MPUMALANGA - One couple's experience at a camp in the Kruger National Park is terrifying enough to make the hair on the back of South Africans' necks stand up.

The way Bafatakis discovered the python is the things nightmares are made of. The visitor detailed how she found the python on the SANParks Facebook page.

Bafatakis wrote that she and her boyfriend decided to lie down in the bedroom during the afternoon. Water suddenly fell from the ceiling onto the boyfriend's leg, but they thought little of it and reported a leak to the reception.

The couple left the room to get a beer. Upon returning to the room, Bafatakis had a gut feeling to double-check the roof, and what she saw was chilling.

Bafatakis wrote:

"When I looked up it was a python on our roof, we slept with it the previous night.”

It turns out that what the couple had suspected was a water leak was actually liquid from the python.
