Watch the full video to see how these tourists survived a rather serious Elephant charge in Kruger National Park, South Africa while on a walking safari.Although this happened some time ago, there has recently been a huge outcry on social media regarding the incident.
Some people even suggested that the Elephant recognized the gun! Even death threat comments(which were obviously not approved by the admins).
Here is what happened according to the guide:"The reason for the Bull advancing on us became later evident when we were told by the clients that one member of the group had tried to run down the river bank and another had moved position, we were not aware of this during the encounter as we where approx 4 - 5 meters in front of the clients and were concentrating on the Elephant actions, both clients where held still by other members of the group as per our pre trail briefing, this can be seen in the clip where the Elephant reacts to the persons moving across and in front of the camera. At this stage it is important for the guides to concentrate on the potential threat and deter a situation, which we did.
The Elephant then backed up and moved off. We continued our walk after the excitement within the clients had returned to normal, I reiterated at this point to the clients on the importance of not moving or generating noise during such an encounter such as had occurred. The Elephant was not provoked or harmed in any way."
Take note of the guy with the grey hair as he measures what the distance was between the Ranger and the Elephant - 12 feet!
