Terrifying moment elephant charges tourist jeep

This is the terrifying moment an elephant charges a tourist jeep on a safari.

Passengers recorded the elephant smashing into the front of their vehicle with ferocious aggression. Its trumpeting war cry can be heard over the sound of the engine.

Amazingly, the driver of the jeep managed to reverse the vehicle over traverse terrain in retreat from the elephant charge.

No offense but this looks like an experience ride like the ones in Universal Studios. Except it's real.

That’s why you don’t interfere with wildlife

That driver is skillfully good. Driving in reverse on a rough terrain like that and getting away with it without overturning the Jeep. They all owe their lives to him. If not for his skillful driving this would have been a different story... one of carnage.

it looked like a disneyland ride but with a small chance of death

Stay out of their territory then, it's not rocket science 🙄

Poor elephant 😞
He's just trying to eat him some grub and get his hump on and these humans won't stay off his turf.

i love how everyone onboard was filming lmao

This elephant probably reacted like this because it sees humans as hunters maybe some one has shot at is from a jeep or hurt its family members

[simogalile]

Well, leave animals alone and everyone will be happy!

Don’t wander into their territory and wonder why they get aggressive, you’re not visiting you’re invading.

Jeep was going 5 mph...I’ll get out and run

[JamieM]

Maybe it was the same kind of jeep that brought tusk-hunters to slaughter its family members. I'd stay out of its territory.

Too bad he didn’t overturn the truck. Leave these poor animals in peace. It’s their home and not yours.

Just glad the beautiful elephant wasn't hurt

I don’t think anyone understands how elephants work, the ears are fully visible it’s playing by doing a mock charge if the ears weren’t visible they wouldn’t have been able to get away so easily.

The rare occasions humans get some of their own medicine

Sometimes it pays to practice driving backwards you never know when you will need that skill

Love the way you guys watermark someone else's video with your logo and give no credit to the content owner.

Great work! Keep it up...

Nice green screen effect, that looks so real! Good job! I like how the tourists were filming it like it was part of the tour! LOL
