Hendry Blom was one of the somewhat fortunate guests who were not on the truck. Hendry shared his experience and footage of the sighting with LatestSightings.com.
Hendry, along with others that were on safari in the Pilanesberg Game Reserve, had stopped at the Rathlogo hide for a leg stretch, a bathroom break, and to also see what would be drinking at the waterhole that the hide looks over. However, the animal they saw was not at the waterhole but rather in the parking area.
While Hendry was using the bathroom, screams from outside alerted him to rush out. That’s when he saw a massive bull elephant charging his guide and friends. The elephant appeared huge as Hendry was on foot and hiding behind a few pieces of logs, which made up the “fence” of the parking area.
The biggest fear many of the onlookers had was that those who were in the vehicle were going to die. There was no way they could possibly survive an attack from such a huge animal! The guide was screaming, shouting, and even banging his hand on the side of his door to chase the elephant away.
The elephant, who was in musth, showed no signs of leaving and went straight for the vehicle, catching the front of the vehicle in his tusks. He lifted it off the ground and dropped it with a bang. Everyone watching panicked! Was everyone in the vehicle okay?
Screams from the anxious tourists in the vehicle could be heard, and the onlookers knew that they were okay. The bull elephant did not stop there; he came back for a second time and lifted the truck again. This time not as high, so as soon as the wheels hit the ground, the guide was able to create some space between himself and the elephant.
As the elephant walked off to the side of the hide, those standing in the open parking lot could breathe a sigh of relief. The elephant was not going to come for them. The guide circled back and told those that were watching this crazy scene unfold that they should be prepared in case the elephant returned, as he was very angry.
The entire group of tourists, with their hearts racing, stood quietly as they watched the elephant disappear into the thickets that surrounded the hide! What a relief that no one was injured, and neither was the elephant.

It looks like if the elephant hasn't even used 100% of his power but still lifts that truck easily.
i think most animals have been a lot stronger than i thought before
It didn’t even use both tusks
Yea crazy how strong they are
I think the elephant used all its strength, or pay attention to the elephant's hind legs, it bent down
wrr
Thumbnail is perfect and no clickbait.
@@mardag00 Along side all our titles and thumbnails on our channel 👀 😄
My newborn is trans
@@TransKidsMafiathat poor child
@@TransKidsMafiaOn a safari channel in a video about an elephant, I can assure few people care about your kid.
@@TransKidsMafia It's not too late to have an abortion.
Such a cool experience for these tourists. Thank goodness everyone’s safe.
That's the one thing Latest Sightings does so well, No Click bait 😃😊
I guess road rage is a thing everywhere, lol
😂😂😂
elephant: "My theory was correct. These are in fact a species of car driving apes."
Lol
well, we really are..
😂😂
@@sparra3819nope
dont make jokes this is a serious matter
This elephant just wants to test his strength. He lifts the truck, then throws it and steps back to see what happens. Rough caress for these tourists.
He lift that truck so easily. The strong of this beast is crazy.
That elephant is just exercising,
🤣🤣😝😝👏🏼👏🏼
The way the driver bounces through the roof lol 😂
This is the money shot we all wanted, as if the cab passenger view wasn't crazy enough.
Thus one is privileged to see an elephant playing with his toy truck
Elephant are the most powerful animal on Earth
Somehow, when looking at it from the 1st perspective (with the guy screaming and yelling), I’m just like, “What did the elephant ever do to you?”
Im glad the elephant wasn't hurt in this confrontation!
I'm more glad the people in the truck weren't hurt in this confrontation
*A truly INTERACTIVE safari!*
What more could you want from life? 🤣
Thats scary and amazing experience feeling the power of the largest beast on land its priceless
That is a very sturdy truck...
Forget the king of the jungle 🦁.
Make room for the Emperor
🐘
Elephant be like ‘Wow’ after the first lifting
Thank God, Dinasours got extinct before we arrived.
We would not have arrived if those non-avian dinosaurs were still here...
@@harsha1989able right.👍
Dinos aren't real.
@@Anon1gh3you are not real .
@@JackSmith.9966 Real enough to trigger you.
Elephants are not the animal to F around
The Elephant way of saying "Get off my lawn" 🐘
Just telling them they're too close.
I can hardly believe that his trunk is strong enough to handle that much weight. And he made it look effortless.
It wasn’t its trunk, it was its whole head, using its tusk to impale the front of the car and using its powerful neck to lift it up like its nothing.
@@minedroftdiaz2089 no wonder, I thought it was the tusks supporting the full weight but that woud probs hurt for the elephant
@@AA-tz2bm you'd have to think so, they are essentially teeth
The video confirm this elephant is really big next to this truck.
Driver: everyone calm down This happens often.Anyone who wants to experience strong feelings should contact him
I seen this on news, YOUR video is alot better
When human desires meet unexpected situations, because of unrecognizable limitations that should be respected. This is how people unknowingly expose and put themselves in harm way over and over again just for a taste of pleasure. Lucky for them, hope they learn the lesson in this , stay far from wild animals, they will lot have mercy on you when your time comes.
He just showed whos the boss and give them their space
appreciate your channel for not click baiting
Elephant 🐘: Sighs, I need a nice drink of water 💦 after threatening these strange apes 🦍 in the Vehicle 🚗.
Tourons: "I wAnT tO tAlK tO yOuR mAnAgEr!"
it’s crazy how strong their trunks are
tusks?
@@nammoo89 no, trunks… elephant trunks are strong
@@DontBeStupid9 he lifts with a tusk, not his trunk
@@nammoo89 i have seen the trunk lift tons of cars and other things
@@DontBeStupid9 This one lifted with a tusk.
Brilliant full power of that elephant amazing
Love how it looks like it's just playing
First rule of the bush, never play chicken with elephant.
The real wildlife experience:
- seeing
- smelling
- feeling
This is not good - repeated incidents will lead elephants to become habituated to this type of aggression. Again vehicles need to stay at a distance and respect boundaries
i thought that animals just looked at the trucks as part of the environment and just ignored them?......
I guess the tourists got what they payed for 😂😂😂😂😂
hoping the driver's seat had it's own suspension
This channel is quality content! No click bait like other garbage channels.
Tourist went home with brown underpants
😂
Never understood why humans think they can go close to wild animals in their own habitat and not consider it dangerous and something unexpected to happen … it’s just insane and those crazy Africans.
Hope this ranger has leant his lesson ....do not go so close to the wildlife... you're invading their territory....have some respect for them
It's checking Tyre quality.
A bloody shame and troubling in various ways that these animals must interact with these tourist spectacles. The financial aspects of conserving the environment and pollution prevention are vile.
Elephant infringed on human camp and became a danger to the guests. Guide protected the people and made elephant turn back to his savannah. Nothing bad or "vile" happened here.
@@ScarlettM Your reading comprehension is perfectly abysmal ol' leper. Easy on the bathsalts. ..
where?
Elephant: next time come with a car trunk
Why did the elephant only try to lift the truck to a limit? Sizing up the truck's density? Amazing footage... guy's loud voice is kind of upsetting.
I read it as elephant picks truck full of tortoises at first 😅
Elephant: "You have unpaid parking tickets and I'm impounding your vehicle."
The tourists had to pay extra for "The Elephant Experience"
(the elephant was in on it)
😂Any doubts on the strongest animal on land?
He was just doing his morning reps. 🏋️
Lol lol
lmao
Cool video! Let's be honest, the car is not a rival to the elephant! The elephant showed that he is stronger, more restrained, and smarter. Protect the environment!
Wow Elephant's are strong
I seen this on the news before seeing this on your channel I seen the first one of this video with the passenger was filming
I’m just glad that this Pachyderm didn’t flipped the entire truck 🛻.
What, does that vehicle not have a horn?
That's what started this whole mess. He was just standing in the road, and the driver was yelling at him, banging his door, and the elephant just came up, lifted it up, and walked off 😂. Totally thevdrivers fault.
Scary 😧
Don't get it twisted I'm not Dumbo!
OMG !
So scary it seemed staged. I hope you all enjoyed your face to face encounter with Wildlife.
I'll pass, I'm okay with watching from the privacy of my home.
id be disappointed if this *didnt* happen on my safari
Is this real?
Yepp it is real
A Minnesota woman lost her life in Africa recently when an angry bull elephant turn over the tour vehicle.
Wow! I bet the people on that vehicle had to change their underwear after that attack!!! 🐘 😂
Elephant are the real lords of the jungle, a lion or tiger won't stand a chance against the mighty behemoth.
Actually there is film of a pride of lions taking an elephant down. It does happen.
@@digital_gravity it's a juvenile elephant buddy not a fully grown bull elephant.
In Africa it's the Savannah not jungle.
Corky the hyena would kill it in 5 seconds flat.
I don't know the context but why getting too close to the elephant in their element? The tourists need to use their telephoto lens not their phone
Driver driving toward elephant was provoking the animal. Did you hear the driver scream when truck was getting lifted 😂🤣😂🤣😂
😂😂
Now that’s getting your moneys worth! 😆🤣
Wtf in the previous videos I thought it was a jeep, I mean it was shown from inside the jeep!
let us have our space!
The guide got too close to the Elephant and should not have been that close. The Elephant was just saying your in my face back off.😊
Amazing strength!
Who says humans are the intelligent species?
"Hey", "Come On", "Stop", "Enough", "Sorry" - He sounds like a parent who doesn't know how to discipline their child 😂😂😂
😂 i cant stop laughing at him saying sorry to the elephant 😂😂😂. Like as if that thing is going to understand 😂😂😂😂
Why is he angry??
Sheer power! Never mess with a elephant bull in musth… up to 15,000lbs of testosterone fueled aggression!
The driver was making everything worse with his big mouth …
Why this foo did not honk the horn instead of shouting
some crazy power right there
🤣🤣🤣Автомобіль став безкоштовним громадським туалетом.😂😂😂
If you notice carefully, bro was only using one of his tusks only to lift over a ton of weight. Now you know why Ivory is valuable to poachers!
The driver should be disciplined as his behavior was ludicrous to say the least. Whether he shouts or slams the door, the elephant did not understand and therefore personnel working in National Parks should be trained to respect the wildlife and not try to impress himself in front of tourists.
This situation happened in a parking lot, many of the tourists didn't make it into the truck in time when the bull suddenly showed up. A bull in musth at that. He did not try to impress, he tried to save the people and risked getting hurt or even killed himself.
I’m glad this angle has been uploaded here too.
Don't be careless. Be thankful that no one is hurt.
A Tesla wouldn't put up with that.
Elephant doesn’t skip trunk day
neck muscles and tusk
Got their money's worth?
The driver: Hey... hey, we know each other! He's a friend from work!
OMG!!! If I was there filming this, all u would've heard was me:
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yigh.
I saw the whole vudeo. The elephant was in the road and the driver was yelling atbhim, banging his handbon the side of the door. The elephant just turned around and came to them, picked the truck up and let it down. Thebdrivervwas yelling oh please no. Please pleaee 😂🤣 the passengers wete onnthe floor behind the seats. Terrible guide. 😂
dausignale shechemisa
🤣
Damn, where was that thing at when i popped my tire a didn't have my jack!
😂
Does dude realize he can drive away?
Read the description of this and last video. He was doing his job keeping the beast away from the people on the ground behind him…
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
