Tourists were on a safari drive when a herd of elephants blocked their path, the largest elephant came over to show them who’s boss! It got caught on camera!
The group where on a safari drive in the Kruger National Park when they experience the close encounter. According to Silvia Lievanos, the lady who took the video, they sat waiting for the elephants to pass for about 10 minutes before the large one brushed up against the open air safari Jeep.
“We had been parked for about 10 minutes on the same place because there were elephants blocking the road. We didn’t do anything to catch the elephant’s attention, he simply walked towards the vehicle and brushed/lifted it as you saw on the video. Nothing specifically happened before or after besides what I showed in the video, I guess he just wanted to show us who was boss :)” – Silvia Lievanos
The guide can be heard in the background telling everyone to remain completely still. Karina the woman in the video posted a full vlog on her YouTube channel of the entire safari! Before the close encounter she said while watching the elephants at a close distance, “Life couldn’t get any better than this…” and then it got pretty scary!
“I usually wish I could see elephants from up close. Today, one particular elephant decided to get closer than it should. I’m not going to lie, I was scared. But it was amazing!!” – Karina
At least they can all agree that was a once in a lifetime experience!
