yeah I don't know why she was all surprised that they could open a car door. Even small/domesticated cats can open and close things. And even if the lion was merely curious and just biting the door handle, alls they would need to do is wrap their mouth around the handle and pull...lol, it's not that complicated to open.
I am a South African, and I've had the privilege of visiting the Kruger National Park since before I started school. I am now 75 yrs old and the one thing my parents taught me and my brother was a deep respect and love for the animals. In all yhe years of visiting the Park as pre-schoolers, as youngsters, as teenagers, as young adults and then with our own families, we witnessed some close-encounters, but never had any ourselves. It angers me how tourists (of all ages) think it's a game, disobey Park Rules, and disrespect the animals. I quite frankly have no sympathy for people who find themselves in a pickle through their own arrogance and think it's some kind of joke.
Lions in particular consider people inside a vehicle to be part of the vehicle and ignore all. Step outside the vehicle, however, and everything changes.
@Michelle Stemm if you think lions are tame just because nothing happened yet in that guys interaction because they are familiar with some man and you go ahead and join him that's on you go ahead and roll your dice lol. You obviously never seen the faces of death which is now long since ban by youtube or you will cringe and grind your teeth watching people being eaten alive by animals
Went on a Safari in Tanzania. Our guides were fabulous. They kept us safe by reading the animals, behaviors and signals and equally as important they kept the animals safe. One of the things they taught us was this is the animals home and WE need to show respect!
Very smart guides. If you follow the rules, nothing will happen to you. If you don't like wild animals, an African safari is probably not something for you. This is their territory that God gave to them before human encroachment got out of control. This lion is patroling his territory where he may have 3 or 4 prides he has to check on. This coalition is not happy seeing humans. Leave the wildlife alone ... a lion conservationist.
before cars people did not travel at night, i did read some old interesting stories, during day time it seemed to be no problem, they all carried guns in those days....
This!!!!!!! When some stranger comes into our home/space it’s automatically considered a threat but we continue to do it to wild animals every day!! And then get upset or shocked when said animals take it as a threat to and protect themselves! 🤷♀️🤦♀️
I spent my childhood and youth in Kenya and my family and I were out in the bush almost every weekend. I don't understand the utter stupidity and disrespect for the fauna, that has evolved in the safari business! Open vehicles! It's crazy!!
@erza You apparently have your fogged up glasses on, when viewing these idiot "guides"! It became clear , as this collection of Twenty videos played, the common thread, was guides bringing paying Tourist's too close to Wild Animals. What was the enticement? The tour vehicle and tour guide were at risk. Therefore, what would make a tour guide risk his vehicle and ultimately his daily work? Money! Large Expected Payment in Thanks from idiot Tourist's who were "thankful" not to be killed or eaten or both, on each occasion. Kruger Wild Life Parks are a Thundering Disgrace for EnDangering Foolish Tourist's, with selfish Profiteering Tour Guides, in Vehicles not sufficiently Strong And Or Safe to ensure Safety Of Tourist's. The Government's in each African Country where these "wild life parks" are located, should be Prosecuted by any Family whose family member is killed or eaten or both. Wild Animal Park's are supposed to be Wild, but when "Idiot and or Greedy so called Tour Guide's deliberately Risk the Lives and or Safety of Tourist's whom they are employed to SafeGuard, just to SEEK LARGE PAYMENT'S FOR SAVING FOOLISH TOURISTS LIVES, Which the idiot tour guides put in DANGER, THEN IT IS TIME TO PUT A STOP TO THE TOUR GUIDES FOOLISH MONEY MAKING SCHEME'S"! The so called "Tour guides" will be responsible for killing their Golden Goose! Any Objective Person who views this video can see, and should know, that the so called "tour guide" is legally responsible for EnDangering the LIVES of the foolish Tourists who entrusted their Lives, to a person viz. The so called Tour guide, whose primary goal in this video is to put the Tourist's in the belief their lives were saved, by the tourist guide. Who causes the DANGER to cause the rescued tourists to pay the so called tourist guide EXTRA PAYMENT. If you deny the above truth, then you are a part of the problem.
I hear you in my country in my lands they do this to our mountains and sacred forests and toss garbage everywhere the world needs us all to do our part to keep any and all that is left of what is beautiful in this world it belongs to us to as a gift and we are not taking care of it our world our earth needs us or we will perish
yes, Denali park only allows people to visit in their buses, safe for the people (the real "wildlife") and for the so called wildlife, keep them separate, is best....
Thats ALL I see! Theses people/tourists/tour guides are Purposely trying to piss off these poor wild animals that are minding their own BIZZ ...... leave them DA FUK ALONE !!!
The pure stupidity of some people is truly shocking. And to hear people laugh after pissing off a wild animal to the point where it charges is just odd.
😂😂😂 that's the only reason I can figure he was so mad at them! Lol the way he looked and snarled at them like "oh yall were just gonna sit there and watch those dogs get me!!?"😂😂
Me too! I got traumatized as a child and 7 years ago a stupid male baboon jumped into our van from the open roof and nearly hurt some kids I had taken to Lake Nakuru National Park. Since then, I would rather just look at pictures of wild animals or watch Nat Geo.
I used to think horror movie characters were stupid for making insanely stupid decisions, but after seeing what these tourists do, the movie characters seem far intelligent than humans in real life.
Speak for yourself! The purpose of the video above is precisely to show when things go wrong, and such things will obviously include some instances of carelessness. I can testify first-hand that such are only a very small minority of cases. I have done five safaris myself, in Kenya, Zimbabwe & India, and the one thing that i have never seen is carelessness! If anything, people are fastidious about keeping to the rules and extremely mindful of their own safety!
I am a Research Assistant in kruger national park, tourists need to understand that this is the wilderness not a zoo or museum and not be naive, and follow the park rules to protect their own lives.
Why aren't they instructed that when they meet their guide? Often it's the guide that's parked too close to the Animals. This vid should be titled Pendejos on Safari!
Love how every animal is "vicious", "dangerous", "hungry" when most of them are just minding their business or curious. In many of these clips, if the animals wanted to attack, they could have easily done so.
did travel, camped out in the woods, lived in the woods, and sometimes, animals just dont watch where they are going too, had a poisonous snake nearly on my feet...it was clearly not paying attention, dog and i watched how it slithered away into the bush again, i found the "wildlife" less wild then that "city wildlife" i prefer to live with wildlife
Make sure you're aware that sometimes the lion you see chasing you is the one whose job is to make you run towards his friends waiting in the shrubbery.
When an animal bluff charges you.... why are you still there staring? I'm so sick of people getting so close to these animals, it's harassment and if you are harmed....who can you blame? Not the animal, but your own stupidity.
The point is, and l see this in pIaces Iike YeIIowstone aII the time, peopIe get TOO CLOSE to wiId animaIs. I have seen eIk charge tourists who were Iess than 10 ft away, bison horn & toss peopIe who were TOO cIose and even grizzIy bears charge peopIe because they were trying to get a seIfie with Iarge, wiId animaIs. It's pure ignorance and ego that makes people do incredibIy stupid things. Not onIy is it risky for the peopIe who seem to have IittIe sense, but if the animaI attacks, sometimes the animaI may end up being put down because of it when it was 100% avoidable. I'm NOT talking about hikers or foIks who were attacked unprovoked, but people who wiIIingIy put themseIves sometimes right next to a large wiId animaI. Some risk their own chiIdren's safety as weII. There is NO excuse for being this careIess and reckIess. If you're going to a wiId animaI park, respect the ruIes and OBEY the signs. They are there for YOUR safety. These are not pets or trained animaIs that are safe to get cIose to. Idk who gave that guy a job in the boat getting so cIose to a Iarge buII elephant, but he risked his own and his paying clients safety, and it was totaIIy unnecessary and dangerous. l have IittIe sympathy for those who ended up frightened to death or injured because of their own reckless actions. TeIIing a severaI ton buII elephant to "stop it" and saying "it's okay" Iike you wouId taIk to a pet made me Iaugh at their sheer ignorance. 🤦♀️
When an animal is confused by a novel sight, they react with fear. (Pet dog barking at reflection), but they are fearful when a new thing reacts like a predator or, in the case of predators, like their dad. That's why US cities have so many fatal human citizens: no dominant males.
Tourists don't pick the vehicle, the locals do. These animals have had generations to get used to vehicles, they see their parents are comfortable around them, so they are too. It's just an inanimate object that doesn't interfere with their lives. The smell of petrol/diesel masks any human smell and you have to remember these animals are a lot more reliant on smell than us. Use an electric vehicle however and it would be a completely different encounter!
@@saladorIV Rationalize it all you want. It's DUMB!! I dont give fat rats a$$ how many generations have seen vehicles. They're predators when it's sll said and done.
provocation is into a wide range of things, like nervousness, walking up to...loud talking, and yes, lifting a camera, a gun or camera ? animals are shot and killed for generations, they fear people, if confronted or surprised the first reaction is attack, i lived remote in Canada, bears in the yard, and many many creatures came real close, even owls can become curious, after a few tries i leave making good picts to the professionals, by the time i am ready to make them, the subject is out of sight specially birds flee fast, so long i ignore them they stay, in all those years i had only one problem bear, it was shot by the fish/wildlife, this days i much rather deal with animals then with people, what on earth you are doing in the woods if your afraid of domestic livestock and dogs ? one feeds the bears, then, that bear will scare the shit out of others by looking for an hand out, the woods has many "surprises" like the snake nearly on top of my feet, oh i am afraid of snakes...but i kept my calm and let it go...a poisonous one it was, keep always calm, not easy at times....
John: No, not at all. Many animals will snap at the mere presence of another animal, or a human being. No provocation is required. As 3300000 suggests, you will understand when you get to go on safari and see for yourself.
Moral of the story here is that the African savannah isn't Disneyland, it's a very dangerous place. The naive tourists can learn this the hard way if they don't already know this.
Here's something stupid people have done. In the United States, stupid tourists have visited our national parks, and held their babies in front of bears so their babies could get a good look at the bear. I've seen photographs of people actually doing that. And in one zoo in this country, some stupid woman took her two year old son to see African wild dogs. She stood her baby, her two year old son, on top of the railing so it could get a better look at the dogs. Well, you probably guessed what happened next. The kid falls into the enclosure where the dogs are ; and they kill it before help can arrive. They should have thrown the mother into the enclosure, too. People can be so stupid.
Why? If you respect the land, the animals & the locals whats wrong with it. We should admire it & im sure they dont mind getting the influx of money from tourists.
If respecting animals and their habitat, what is the problem? On top of that, it generates revenues for the National Parks which help them to fight poaching.
I’ve visited the Kruger & The Umfolozi parks several times over the years, I’m always stunned at how foolish we humans can be. You see kids sitting on the roofs of cars 😮 parked under a tree with a leopard directly above the kids. We pointed it out to the father, who just shrugged, so I took some video of it and showed him, he moved that car out of there at lightening speed.
@@Jo, I’m confused. A father was letting his kids hang out on top of their car with a leopard nearby, and he disregarded your warning until you showed him a video of a leopard attacking? Whatever the case, I’m glad you helped keep his kids safe! ❤
@@PeaceIsJesusChrist Hi, the video we showed his father was the leopard in the tree directly above his children’s heads. He drove off with the two boys still sitting on the roof. We were astounded, if he had gone over a bump in the road the boys could easily have fallen off. The Kruger park is a vast place you see all sorts of crazy things, fortunately most tourists have good sense, but the odd few 😳
I have had the privilege of visiting Kruger National Park several times and have been lucky enough to observe many different species of animal with some encounters being quite close but never terrifying. If you sit quietly with the car engine switched off the animals invariably carry on as if you aren't there. We've had herds of elephants, often with young calves, continue grazing as they've walked right past the car. Sometimes it's meant we have had to sit still for almost an hour. But it's called showing respect as we are the visitors.
I am aware of one incident in South Africa around 1993 that resulted in the deaths by lions of two idiot tourists from Taipei, who got out of their car, walked over to a "sleeping" pride, and turned around to have their picture taken with them. The lions promptly woke up and killed them both. Only the third guy got away, because he was the one standing near their vehicle while taking the picture. These sorts of incidents are played down by the authorities whenever possible for the obvious reason that they're bad PR.
In all these instances, the wildlife are saying basically the same thing: "Get out! And stay out!" But videos like this make me curious about how our ancestors survived living a lot closer to these wild animals & in less sophisticated shelter than we have now.
I grew up in the Kruger national park.elephants are amazing but you have to respect their young they are extremely protective as a family.the white lion that jumped in the car was hand reared in the lion park .hippo’s you stay well away they extremely dangerous and highly obnoxious!!
It wouldn't surprise me if the white lions were bred at Camorhi private game park near Bethlehem, SA - they specialize in breeding white lions (despite the name originating from camel and rhino) for parks and zoos around the world.
@@johnphelan8300 so true, imagine, most people dont even know how to act around dogs ? that "must make picts" ? why and for whom ? to bore your friends to death, mostly it either just flies or run away...i worked and lived in the woods, animals are curious, it they choice to approach me ? in God i trust....and no, even a gun can safe you at times....to late...to close...stay calm...oh boy it can be hard at times...a big poisonous snake...suddenly almost on my feet ???...dog and i just stared at it...snake ignored us...pffff...i have many of such memories, i just smile, ...wildlife is in the cities....it is released in summer and comes with cameras and smartphones, in fall it comes up with big guns to hunt...
americans dont lock their car doors?! … in a lion’s area - you are told to do this and keep windows up , as a south african or anyone with two brain cells this should be obvious
Srsly, I respect other people's work but this is nothing else than BS and clickbait. Btw, I stopped after 30sec with the "terrifying" scene with the lion allegedly chasing the van.
lived remote, with dangerous wild animals, ...i worked with Ukrainian refugees, heard their stories....long ago a friend of mine was murdered, people are the most dangerous wild animals,
I was unaware that there was absolutely no protection on the vehicle until I arrived and it was too late to back out. You would be surprised at how quickly your own mind tricks itself into thinking you are part of the environment. Driver also backed up to big lions on the assumption (I assume) that this was what we wanted to experience. Here is the telling point ; She wasn't armed either and was not in any way aprehensive.
Honestly, the lion encounter where the lion jumped into the safari car could have gone south pretty easily if people had panicked cuz lions can somehow smell fear. Good work by the guide who kept asking the tourists to keep calm.
@@visible3all That's such an absurb comment. All you had to do was to google and you'd know that dogs can't smell fear. They just happen to read other people actions more accurately than other animals and hence they act like they can smell fear, but they don't actually. And this isn't me saying this, but science, more specifically, the tests done on olfactory senses of dogs.
Adult male lion jumps into the safari car full of tourists. Tour guide: "relax, relax, relax, relax...." Tourists taken back to hotel to change their pants.
🤔Hmmm #28 ... "What was suppose to be a normal encounter with an elephant !!".... Hmmm yep right on!, I just hate those weekend elephant attacks. One moment ur merely going to the bush corner shop for some Twinkies then all of a sudden Bam ! Elephant that looked like he was doin usual waterhole run just snaps !!🤨 Lol x ♾
Wasn't it supposed to be about trips going "terribly wrong"? I just see some animals, in most cases simply minding their own business, all of a sudden bothered by some annoying humans...
I went on safari in Kenya in 2005 at two different areas. We had absolutely no problems whatsoever and had a wonderful time. Our guides were very knowledgeable and would never have let us leave the vehicle. At one point we stopped by two water buffalo, one standing and one lying down, and the guide started the vehicle when he noticed the reclining one was getting restless while staring at us. We also came to a dead stop when a baboon was sitting in the middle of the road, preventing us from driving on. It was an exciting trip, and we always felt very safe.
These videos are exactly why I will never go on a safari. It seems like the guides sometimes just push and push to get a rise out of them. I wonder how many people they have caused to get injured or killed. Not that people can't be plain stupid on their own mind you! Like the elephant eating in the river there was no excuse for that and then the one in the road that is clearly in musk which makes it deadly. Love the one where they had their soul scared out of them. Then at 2408 A dumb man on a search for a lion footprint..There I fixed that for you! Still wondering who changed the tire! HaHa Finally do these folks never watch nature docs or youtube? ;) Thanks for the vids.
Guides aren’t trying to agitate animals. They drive closer to make tourists happy. More educated and professional guides would know to keep their distance
Watch WildEarth it’s a live African safari. It’s playing on UA-cam right now. You’ll learn lots & see many animals. The guides teach you about behaviours of the animals too. You’ll enjoy it.
If a big cat mock charges you it means she’s probably got cubs nearby and wants you to leave. NOW! And when an elephant perks its ears up it’s being aggressive.
@@mokgadikanyane-yw3tu wish they where, instead of making fuss, walking up to them, even feeding them, leave making good pict up to professionals, cherish the moment, and dont panic IF they come close to you, we cant outrun anything, and if they are close, better not try to make picts, how do they know the diff between lifting a gun or a camera ? every situation is diff,
@@youtubeadministrator4022 respect is not enough, distance is a must, if that is not possible, stay calm, being on the wrong place at the wrong time can happen to all of us, animals do change their mind at times too, attacks happen like lightening, staying calm is a must, i found myself in between bull and wall, stayed calm saved my life, lived in the woods in Canada, love nature, be ready for encounters at any time, had a snake suddenly nearly on my feet, brrr...
@@ertsixbarf good points I was just joking. These animals are not in our realm, they see us as a curiosity to fear but one to attack if the time is right. Noway I'm going on safari in an open top 4x4
Humans don't get pissed off and intimidate or attack when animals or other humans walk around them or just sit and look at them. You clearly made that comment to point out that animals just respond to other animals or human behavior but their response is just based on their survival instinct.
Whenever I see my house cat chasing a toy or laser in the house I imagine a big cat with the same speed and reflexes chasing anything. I would not get close to one surviving in the wild. The leopard pawing the guys shoe would be an ultimate thrill that I would never let happen.
That one is incredible. She had no way of getting away from the lions. Her vehicle had no doors, and no roof. And I don't think it has a windshield. It's amazing how she was able to calmly sit there as that pride of lions walked past her.
@Steve Williams She's incredibly smart and a talented safari guide. you should check her out on Wild Earth UA-cam channel. She's on leave right now but has been guiding for years.
I agree. It was being pulled by a “Horse-Draw” Carriage???? That was so shocking to see…..I thought they were in a pick-up or something. How is the lions food your getaway vehicle?????
It should be standard that these safari vehicles be enclosed with protective cage material at all openings! For all windows & doors as added protection!
25 and 17 is insane. Feet from an elephant and lions inside an open sided jeep?? What is wrong with these people??? And 16 that guys days are numbered for sure. One day an elephant isn't going to scare away
Absolutely, all this guy is doing is scaring potential tourists away. I've been to Kruger National Park many times, most of this shit happens all the time.
@@rupertdebeer3009 it goes well most of the time, but....an attack is fast and sudden, i was attacked by my own bull, keep a good distance when ever possible,
In the wild NO TOURIST GUIDE can " GUARANTEE " your safety! No exceptions! I'm a South African & live close to a nature reserve, I know. Nature is unpredictable, but don't take me word for it what do I know😔
@Ralph Reilly You say 'zzzzz' but you are probably the type of human that thinks animals are just 'dumb animals'. When actually, animals have personalities, they feel love, pain and all sorts of emotions. An animal is one of GOD's creatures just like you are GOD's creature. All should be treated with love and respect.
As a south african that has visited kruger quite a couple of times.I have had some close calls but never been injured and i have never knowned anyone that has been injured.When you encounter one of the bigger wild animals e.g hippos,lions,elephants etc it is best to turn your engine off because it calms the animals down
Such an A-hole of a woman, driving and sitting that close to that many loins in an open vehicle. Sitting there with her hair and jewelry; completely ignorant of and oblivious to that level of danger. I recognize bravery, and that's not it.
I am South African and have been to many game drives,not much bad encounters with animals. The times we have had encounters is when there were foreign tourists, quite over zealous folk, they think this is movie and come too close, application to quickly reunite with their creators.
I kind of feel like the guides shouldn't be allowed to shoot one of the animals if it does attack. You go into their territory, bothering these animals- then when they act like wild animals someone pulls out a gun, ready to shoot them in their own small homelands. Humans have already taken so much habitat from these beautiful animals, then they go in and harass them on the small habitat that they have left. It's a shame.
I’ve been on a safari. The truck is part of the landscape to the animals. If you obey all rules, there are no problems. They give the animals plenty of space. They also can read when it is a dangerous situation and act accordingly. I would say it’s a great experience with a reputable safari company.
07:07 After the Lion opened the door, who was brave enough to close it?!! Of course you want to close it, but I would have been so scared of getting my arm attacked!
Great video editing! I was really thankful for those large flashing red arrows pointing to angry elephant or hippos that were filling almost the entire frame. Without those arrows, I NEVER would have seen the huge animals...
Stay cosy and safe at home then. You shall never know what you are missing. It is a great deal more dangerous to go out onto the streets of any US city than to go on a walking safari in lion territory!
@@thanksanyway.3330 That's a legit point 👍 Safaris are obviously dangerous, but they can't compare with taking an evening stroll in an average US city.
This video is both entertaining and jaw-dropping! The unexpected moments during these African safari trips had me on the edge of my seat. The mix of humor and suspense is perfectly balanced, and the editing really keeps the viewer engaged. I appreciate how you highlighted the unpredictability of wildlife encounters-it’s a great reminder of how wild nature can be! Fantastic work, and I can’t wait for more content like this!
Humans approach wild animals in their natural territory then get surprised when they act like wild animals. What do they expect? It’s instinctive for them to protect themselves from danger and when humans are entering their territory and provoking them they’re obviously gonna react. Usually they’re just warning the people to back away, so many of these incidents could’ve easily ended in attacks and deaths if the animals wanted that outcome. Majority of the time they’re just trying to scare you off. Sometimes they’re just curious
I understand the wanting to see these majestic animals in the wild, but why do people have to push and push the limits constantly and aggravate the animals! Like the people in the water with the elephant. They had to keep getting closer and closer until they’re almost on top of it. And of course it finally reacted. And if someone got seriously hurt or killed they’d call that animal aggressive and kill it immediately. Or having convoys of vehicles going through the park and driving right up the animals backsides. I’d get cranky too if someone did that to me. . But I’m sure the guides have a gun ready. Stupid stupid humans!!
If you mean the one that just hit the hood beside him, I agree! He didn’t even seem that phased. It was like he wasn’t in horrible danger. “Ok, they told me if an elephant charges, bang on the vehicle”. ☑️
I've been on safari in South Africa and all I can say is that it probably was one of the dumbest and most exhilarating things I've ever done in my life😂😂😂 You are the food! You're out in the open encroaching on the animals' territory. They all are incredible and powerful. Elephants in particular are NO JOKE!!
I am South African. Lock your vehicle, roll up the windows and never step out of your vehicle. There is no treatment for stupidity.
100% tourists who get into trouble are always doing stupid things so follow the rules always the animals are wild they are not cuddly
Yupe! I can't stop thinking how stupid to not lock the doors or and windows of your car while parking beside the lions.
We have the same issues in the US, specifically in Yellowstone National Park with buffalo and bear. Our mountain lions and cougars stay hidden well.
yeah I don't know why she was all surprised that they could open a car door. Even small/domesticated cats can open and close things. And even if the lion was merely curious and just biting the door handle, alls they would need to do is wrap their mouth around the handle and pull...lol, it's not that complicated to open.
Same in top end Australia with crocs

Absolutely - I felt throughout the videos !
No need to go to such place.
But we need to see and know this animals. Only play it safe
Very smart guides. If you follow the rules, nothing will happen to you. If you don't like wild animals, an African safari is probably not something for you.

The so called Tour guide, whose primary goal in this video is to put the Tourist's in the belief their lives were saved, by the tourist guide. Who causes the DANGER to cause the rescued tourists to pay the so called tourist guide EXTRA PAYMENT.
If you deny the above truth, then you are a part of the problem.
I hear you in my country in my lands they do this to our mountains and sacred forests and toss garbage everywhere the world needs us all to do our part to keep any and all that is left of what is beautiful in this world it belongs to us to as a gift and we are not taking care of it our world our earth needs us or we will perish
@@Bambotb without tourists there would be no need so the tourists are a big part of the problem.
We can see a lot of idiots disturbing the animals on their environment!
It's called "intellectually impaired "
You’re living where animals used to call their environment 🤷♂️
The mother of idiots is always pregnant.
yes, Denali park only allows people to visit in their buses, safe for the people (the real "wildlife") and for the so called wildlife, keep them separate, is best....
Thats ALL I see! Theses people/tourists/tour guides are Purposely trying to piss off these poor wild animals that are minding their own BIZZ ...... leave them DA FUK ALONE !!!
The pure stupidity of some people is truly shocking. And to hear people laugh after pissing off a wild animal to the point where it charges is just odd.
Most of these people are rich and sheltered, they've never known true violence.
I agree and things could go wrong very quickly & cost someone their life
Like my mom used to say.....its all fun and games until someone gets their guts ripped out and eaten.
Tourists are a pain in the arse. Leave the animals in peace.
Now I understand why the characters in a horror films are sometimes stupid and do not have common sense.
That leopard was pissed and embarrased they caught his azz running up a tree lololol

Me too! I got traumatized as a child and 7 years ago a stupid male baboon jumped into our van from the open roof and nearly hurt some kids I had taken to Lake Nakuru National Park. Since then, I would rather just look at pictures of wild animals or watch Nat Geo.
I don't blame you. Especially with so many idiots on these safaris
I used to think horror movie characters were stupid for making insanely stupid decisions, but after seeing what these tourists do, the movie characters seem far intelligent than humans in real life.

Well said 😂😂
Speak for yourself!
The purpose of the video above is precisely to show when things go wrong, and such things will obviously include some instances of carelessness.
I can testify first-hand that such are only a very small minority of cases.
I have done five safaris myself, in Kenya, Zimbabwe & India, and the one thing that i have never seen is carelessness! If anything, people are fastidious about keeping to the rules and extremely mindful of their own safety!
Tourist= an annoying curious idiot that can't leave wildlife alone in their natural habitat

Id consider stopping next to a pride of lions a stupid thing. And as they say, play stupid games win stupid prizes.
I am a Research Assistant in kruger national park, tourists need to understand that this is the wilderness not a zoo or museum and not be naive, and follow the park rules to protect their own lives.
Why aren't they instructed that when they meet their guide? Often it's the guide that's parked too close to the Animals.
This vid should be titled Pendejos on Safari!

@@deedrabrown5256 well it is likely not, but there are situations

Love how every animal is "vicious", "dangerous", "hungry" when most of them are just minding their business or curious. In many of these clips, if the animals wanted to attack, they could have easily done so.
And the big red arrows - very helpful when trying to find the animals
did travel, camped out in the woods, lived in the woods, and sometimes, animals just dont watch where they are going too, had a poisonous snake nearly on my feet...it was clearly not paying attention, dog and i watched how it slithered away into the bush again, i found the "wildlife" less wild then that "city wildlife" i prefer to live with wildlife
I love how you are brainless Tim Brown. These ppl are invading their territory.
If If hadn’t been for those big red arrows, there’s no way I could pinpoint exactly the threat towards tourists 🤣
Good!
Turn off cameras… gonna have to shoot the lioness…
Well done my man…
Self defense
I think people have no respect for nature and it has a way to reminding them with tragedy at times.
Proof that cameraman never dies
Make sure you're aware that sometimes the lion you see chasing you is the one whose job is to make you run towards his friends waiting in the shrubbery.
😂😂😂😄😃😃 very smart 👌
Scary
true
We just need to be careful, don't allow those saying that cameras doest die, that's really lie many
That's real pride. Yeah chase to the growd waiting.
When an animal bluff charges you.... why are you still there staring? I'm so sick of people getting so close to these animals, it's harassment and if you are harmed....who can you blame? Not the animal, but your own stupidity.
When you run away or turn he might go after you. Mostly power play. I ve often seen that with elephants. Some bears are similar.
The point is, and l see this in pIaces Iike YeIIowstone aII the time, peopIe get TOO CLOSE to wiId animaIs.
I have seen eIk charge tourists who were Iess than 10 ft away, bison horn & toss peopIe who were TOO cIose and even grizzIy bears charge peopIe because they were trying to get a seIfie with Iarge, wiId animaIs.
It's pure ignorance and ego that makes people do incredibIy stupid things.
Not onIy is it risky for the peopIe who seem to have IittIe sense, but if the animaI attacks, sometimes the animaI may end up being put down because of it when it was 100% avoidable. I'm NOT talking about hikers or foIks who were attacked unprovoked, but people who wiIIingIy put themseIves sometimes right next to a large wiId animaI.
Some risk their own chiIdren's safety as weII.
There is NO excuse for being this careIess and reckIess.
If you're going to a wiId animaI park, respect the ruIes and OBEY the signs.
They are there for YOUR safety. These are not pets or trained animaIs that are safe to get cIose to.
Idk who gave that guy a job in the boat getting so cIose to a Iarge buII elephant, but he risked his own and his paying clients safety, and it was totaIIy unnecessary and dangerous.
l have IittIe sympathy for those who ended up frightened to death or injured because of their own reckless actions.
TeIIing a severaI ton buII elephant to "stop it" and saying "it's okay" Iike you wouId taIk to a pet made me Iaugh at their sheer ignorance. 🤦♀️
Couldn't agree more. The video is full with stupidity.
I agree with you 100 %
When an animal is confused by a novel sight, they react with fear. (Pet dog barking at reflection), but they are fearful when a new thing reacts like a predator or, in the case of predators, like their dad. That's why US cities have so many fatal human citizens: no dominant males.
Its incredible how so many people are getting so close to wild elephants. they are not some big teddy bears.
and this big teddy bears have their own "comfort" zone too, same as we do,
Noted. Dont go on no african safari trips.
And they are smart…..they know what the fck we do to them
They watch way too many movies where animals talk, sing and dance..
I'll never understand why tourists think it's smart to ride through in an open body vehicle
Tourists don't pick the vehicle, the locals do. These animals have had generations to get used to vehicles, they see their parents are comfortable around them, so they are too. It's just an inanimate object that doesn't interfere with their lives. The smell of petrol/diesel masks any human smell and you have to remember these animals are a lot more reliant on smell than us. Use an electric vehicle however and it would be a completely different encounter!
@@saladorIV Rationalize it all you want. It's DUMB!! I dont give fat rats a$$ how many generations have seen vehicles. They're predators when it's sll said and done.
So true
Because that's what they're told
It seems that the poor animals were not angry but provoked by people!
Wrong.
How many safaris have you been on?
They were
provocation is into a wide range of things, like nervousness, walking up to...loud talking, and yes, lifting a camera, a gun or camera ? animals are shot and killed for generations, they fear people, if confronted or surprised the first reaction is attack, i lived remote in Canada, bears in the yard, and many many creatures came real close, even owls can become curious, after a few tries i leave making good picts to the professionals, by the time i am ready to make them, the subject is out of sight specially birds flee fast, so long i ignore them they stay, in all those years i had only one problem bear, it was shot by the fish/wildlife, this days i much rather deal with animals then with people, what on earth you are doing in the woods if your afraid of domestic livestock and dogs ? one feeds the bears, then, that bear will scare the shit out of others by looking for an hand out, the woods has many "surprises" like the snake nearly on top of my feet, oh i am afraid of snakes...but i kept my calm and let it go...a poisonous one it was, keep always calm, not easy at times....
John: No, not at all. Many animals will snap at the mere presence of another animal, or a human being. No provocation is required.
As 3300000 suggests, you will understand when you get to go on safari and see for yourself.
It's like driving around a serial killers yard taking pictures of him, then as he tries to kill you " wow, that was a close call" 😂
Exactly!!....And these people are Humans with brains doing these crazy shit! 🤣🤣

Good analogy, except the wild animals are the spectators .......

Lmfao exactly.
Moral of the story here is that the African savannah isn't Disneyland, it's a very dangerous place. The naive tourists can learn this the hard way if they don't already know this.
Agreed, there is no way for the safari companies to totally guarantee the safety of their customers. I will never go on an African safari.
@@marie8456More stupid, actually.

Exactly quoting from Jurassic Park "The attractions in Disneyland don't eat the tourists"
Wow you’re so smart! Nobody could’ve ever know that if it wasn’t for your insight
Love how the lead up is more dramatic than the actual occurrence😂😂😂😂😂😂
I can't believe that so many of these vehicles are wide open, with no windows or walls protecting the tourists. They are just asking for trouble!
Or an open horse drawn carriage!
And the drivers arn't armed either in many instances.
If an elephant is angry at your vehicle, glass windows & thin walls won't help much.
Exactly! I'd never go on a safari in an open car! Only with doors locked and windows locked up.
Because they are tourists
These are definitely some of the dumbest things people can do.
Here's something stupid people have done. In the United States, stupid tourists have visited our national parks, and held their babies in front of bears so their babies could get a good look at the bear. I've seen photographs of people actually doing that. And in one zoo in this country, some stupid woman took her two year old son to see African wild dogs. She stood her baby, her two year old son, on top of the railing so it could get a better look at the dogs. Well, you probably guessed what happened next. The kid falls into the enclosure where the dogs are ; and they kill it before help can arrive. They should have thrown the mother into the enclosure, too. People can be so stupid.

In no way do I blame the animals in these clips.
It’s crazy how we are subjecting Africa’s animals to being spectacles.
Nature is to be admired. It is our given right and privilege.
Nothing wrong with that at all.
Why? If you respect the land, the animals & the locals whats wrong with it. We should admire it & im sure they dont mind getting the influx of money from tourists.
It generates revenue for the country, and if the tourists are being respectful whats the problem?
If respecting animals and their habitat, what is the problem? On top of that, it generates revenues for the National Parks which help them to fight poaching.
I’ve visited the Kruger & The Umfolozi parks several times over the years, I’m always stunned at how foolish we humans can be. You see kids sitting on the roofs of cars 😮 parked under a tree with a leopard directly above the kids. We pointed it out to the father, who just shrugged, so I took some video of it and showed him, he moved that car out of there at lightening speed.
@@Jo, I’m confused. A father was letting his kids hang out on top of their car with a leopard nearby, and he disregarded your warning until you showed him a video of a leopard attacking?
Whatever the case, I’m glad you helped keep his kids safe! ❤
@@PeaceIsJesusChrist Hi, the video we showed his father was the leopard in the tree directly above his children’s heads. He drove off with the two boys still sitting on the roof. We were astounded, if he had gone over a bump in the road the boys could easily have fallen off. The Kruger park is a vast place you see all sorts of crazy things, fortunately most tourists have good sense, but the odd few 😳

Yesss
😂 exactly what i thought
exactly this☝️😂😅🤷🏻♀️
I have had the privilege of visiting Kruger National Park several times and have been lucky enough to observe many different species of animal with some encounters being quite close but never terrifying. If you sit quietly with the car engine switched off the animals invariably carry on as if you aren't there. We've had herds of elephants, often with young calves, continue grazing as they've walked right past the car. Sometimes it's meant we have had to sit still for almost an hour. But it's called showing respect as we are the visitors.
I am aware of one incident in South Africa around 1993 that resulted in the deaths by lions of two idiot tourists from Taipei, who got out of their car, walked over to a "sleeping" pride, and turned around to have their picture taken with them. The lions promptly woke up and killed them both. Only the third guy got away, because he was the one standing near their vehicle while taking the picture. These sorts of incidents are played down by the authorities whenever possible for the obvious reason that they're bad PR.
What's sad and silly about that is that the rest of the planet is well aware of these incidents
Hahahaha serves them right!! 😅😂

In all these instances, the wildlife are saying basically the same thing: "Get out! And stay out!" But videos like this make me curious about how our ancestors survived living a lot closer to these wild animals & in less sophisticated shelter than we have now.
They had never been to a theme park. Health respect, and common sense?
Our ancestors had BRAINS.. 😂😂 We are definitely getting dumber..

I grew up in the Kruger national park.elephants are amazing but you have to respect their young they are extremely protective as a family.the white lion that jumped in the car was hand reared in the lion park .hippo’s you stay well away they extremely dangerous and highly obnoxious!!
It wouldn't surprise me if the white lions were bred at Camorhi private game park near Bethlehem, SA - they specialize in breeding white lions (despite the name originating from camel and rhino) for parks and zoos around the world.

How about the lion that rolled the car! and it didn't looked satisfied, either!
Thw woman in the jeep with the lions walking passed was amazing and dealt with the situation brilliantly
Open vehicle is crazy
I never understood how people become tourists and expose themselves to dangerous wild animals
lived remote, with dangerous wild animals, ...i worked with Ukrainian refugees, heard their stories....long ago a friend of mine was murdered, people are the most dangerous wild animals,
I was unaware that there was absolutely no protection on the vehicle until I arrived and it was too late to back out. You would be surprised at how quickly your own mind tricks itself into thinking you are part of the environment. Driver also backed up to big lions on the assumption (I assume) that this was what we wanted to experience. Here is the telling point ; She wasn't armed either and was not in any way aprehensive.
They want to die DUH
😂😂😂😂😂❣ I'm dying 🤣 I live in South Africa 🇿🇦. Safaris are awesome.
Honestly, the lion encounter where the lion jumped into the safari car could have gone south pretty easily if people had panicked cuz lions can somehow smell fear. Good work by the guide who kept asking the tourists to keep calm.
Any animal can smell fear.
@@visible3all That's such an absurb comment. All you had to do was to google and you'd know that dogs can't smell fear. They just happen to read other people actions more accurately than other animals and hence they act like they can smell fear, but they don't actually.
And this isn't me saying this, but science, more specifically, the tests done on olfactory senses of dogs.
Adult male lion jumps into the safari car full of tourists.
Tour guide: "relax, relax, relax, relax...."

Yes, to put an extra thick pair of diaper on also!

Lesson... wild animals, especially predators, are very smart. That lion has probably seen ppl opening doors and knew exactly how to do it.
Wasn't it supposed to be about trips going "terribly wrong"? I just see some animals, in most cases simply minding their own business, all of a sudden bothered by some annoying humans...
Just what I thought. Clickbait..giving up after 5 clips..
I went on safari in Kenya in 2005 at two different areas. We had absolutely no problems whatsoever and had a wonderful time. Our guides were very knowledgeable and would never have let us leave the vehicle. At one point we stopped by two water buffalo, one standing and one lying down, and the guide started the vehicle when he noticed the reclining one was getting restless while staring at us. We also came to a dead stop when a baboon was sitting in the middle of the road, preventing us from driving on. It was an exciting trip, and we always felt very safe.
There are no water buffalo in Kenya; they are called Cale Buffalo and you don’t mess with them.
These videos are exactly why I will never go on a safari. It seems like the guides sometimes just push and push to get a rise out of them. I wonder how many people they have caused to get injured or killed. Not that people can't be plain stupid on their own mind you! Like the elephant eating in the river there was no excuse for that and then the one in the road that is clearly in musk which makes it deadly. Love the one where they had their soul scared out of them. Then at 2408 A dumb man on a search for a lion footprint..There I fixed that for you! Still wondering who changed the tire! HaHa Finally do these folks never watch nature docs or youtube? ;) Thanks for the vids.
Guides aren’t trying to agitate animals. They drive closer to make tourists happy. More educated and professional guides would know to keep their distance
I grew up in Kruger park with me three sisters running wild.we all made it to adulthood,I was bitten by a vervet monkey but that was all
Watch WildEarth it’s a live African safari. It’s playing on UA-cam right now. You’ll learn lots & see many animals. The guides teach you about behaviours of the animals too. You’ll enjoy it.
Please don't come!!
Not in Kenya
If a big cat mock charges you it means she’s probably got cubs nearby and wants you to leave. NOW! And when an elephant perks its ears up it’s being aggressive.

Whenever I see my house cat chasing a toy or laser in the house I imagine a big cat with the same speed and reflexes chasing anything. I would not get close to one surviving in the wild. The leopard pawing the guys shoe would be an ultimate thrill that I would never let happen.
All those beautiful animals are really fed up with people disturbing their peaceful lives.
That woman in the land rover when the pride of lions was walking by is my favorite naturalist, Lauren Arthur, from Wild Earth.
That one is incredible. She had no way of getting away from the lions. Her vehicle had no doors, and no roof. And I don't think it has a windshield. It's amazing how she was able to calmly sit there as that pride of lions walked past her.

@Ralph Reilly You say 'zzzzz' but you are probably the type of human that thinks animals are just 'dumb animals'. When actually, animals have personalities, they feel love, pain and all sorts of emotions. An animal is one of GOD's creatures just like you are GOD's creature. All should be treated with love and respect.
😴Zzzzzzzzz
@@christah4102 Zzzzzzz
Yes they don’t care about the poor beasts, they’re there to take pictures and disturb the animals like a bunch of moronic fools!😡
Why not me "ZZZZZZZZZZZZ"
As a south african that has visited kruger quite a couple of times.I have had some close calls but never been injured and i have never knowned anyone that has been injured.When you encounter one of the bigger wild animals e.g hippos,lions,elephants etc it is best to turn your engine off because it calms the animals down
It was never meant for tourist to bring cars, exhaust, talkativeness to the ANIMALS HOME. They are tired if these people coming to just stare at them
Such an A-hole of a woman, driving and sitting that close to that many loins in an open vehicle. Sitting there with her hair and jewelry; completely ignorant of and oblivious to that level of danger. I recognize bravery, and that's not it.
Shut up Karen!
Those girls seriously had their door unlocked?!?
This happens all the time
😂
I am South African and have been to many game drives,not much bad encounters with animals. The times we have had encounters is when there were foreign tourists, quite over zealous folk, they think this is movie and come too close, application to quickly reunite with their creators.
I’m good watching these videos at home😊 no need to go on safaris😂
Most of these tourists seem to be taunting the wild animals.These people are on wild animal turf. They are really asking for it.
totally
I kind of feel like the guides shouldn't be allowed to shoot one of the animals if it does attack. You go into their territory, bothering these animals- then when they act like wild animals someone pulls out a gun, ready to shoot them in their own small homelands. Humans have already taken so much habitat from these beautiful animals, then they go in and harass them on the small habitat that they have left. It's a shame.
I’ve been on a safari. The truck is part of the landscape to the animals. If you obey all rules, there are no problems. They give the animals plenty of space. They also can read when it is a dangerous situation and act accordingly. I would say it’s a great experience with a reputable safari company.
That's why I can't do these tours. Why should I get hurt or worse because of inconsiderate fools
I don’t care if it’s bad, I root for the animals…..always
Same here
Me too
So animal life before a human ???
They laugh but it wouldn’t be funny if the lion got them. I root for animals. Leave the animals in Peace
@@stuartadams5168humans are animals
I've never understood the stupidity of those people who chose to be near these wild animals. Beats me. Respect their space
I been there and people THE ROAR 🦁 is so powerful!!! Literally takes your soul out of your body
It's beautiful, though 🤗❣

07:07 After the Lion opened the door, who was brave enough to close it?!! Of course you want to close it, but I would have been so scared of getting my arm attacked!
the one yelling probably scared it.
i think the lion was scareder than them
They had the door unlocked???
@Tabitha Mashburn yes and also their skulls, so their brains had escaped. Who wouldn't be cautious enough to lock the door in deep jungle?!
Great video editing! I was really thankful for those large flashing red arrows pointing to angry elephant or hippos that were filling almost the entire frame. Without those arrows, I NEVER would have seen the huge animals...
😂
Respect!
I’ll never understand people who go on wild safaris. That’s a danger that doesn’t sit well with me. 😬
Stay cosy and safe at home then. You shall never know what you are missing.
It is a great deal more dangerous to go out onto the streets of any US city than to go on a walking safari in lion territory!
@@thanksanyway.3330 That's a legit point 👍 Safaris are obviously dangerous, but they can't compare with taking an evening stroll in an average US city.
This video is both entertaining and jaw-dropping! The unexpected moments during these African safari trips had me on the edge of my seat. The mix of humor and suspense is perfectly balanced, and the editing really keeps the viewer engaged. I appreciate how you highlighted the unpredictability of wildlife encounters-it’s a great reminder of how wild nature can be! Fantastic work, and I can’t wait for more content like this!
There would be no way in hell I would be riding around in the middle of Africa on a safari in a vehicle with no windows!
The guide sitting on high chair on left of the driver is like a cherry topping on the cake !! 😅
I feel the same way when I see tourist ruining my day but laws keep me from attacking
😂😂😂
Humans approach wild animals in their natural territory then get surprised when they act like wild animals. What do they expect? It’s instinctive for them to protect themselves from danger and when humans are entering their territory and provoking them they’re obviously gonna react. Usually they’re just warning the people to back away, so many of these incidents could’ve easily ended in attacks and deaths if the animals wanted that outcome. Majority of the time they’re just trying to scare you off. Sometimes they’re just curious
I understand the wanting to see these majestic animals in the wild, but why do people have to push and push the limits constantly and aggravate the animals! Like the people in the water with the elephant. They had to keep getting closer and closer until they’re almost on top of it. And of course it finally reacted. And if someone got seriously hurt or killed they’d call that animal aggressive and kill it immediately. Or having convoys of vehicles going through the park and driving right up the animals backsides. I’d get cranky too if someone did that to me. . But I’m sure the guides have a gun ready. Stupid stupid humans!!
Dolts..
Here here!! 😂😂
Nature is unpredictably strong 📸
Good on the safari guide for his bravery and skills dealing with that elephant!
If you mean the one that just hit the hood beside him, I agree! He didn’t even seem that phased. It was like he wasn’t in horrible danger. “Ok, they told me if an elephant charges, bang on the vehicle”. ☑️
He's probably lived there all his life. He KNOWS ❣ These guys are truly amazing.
Even when he drops his camera 🎥
The cameraman never dies
Too bad
I've been on safari in South Africa and all I can say is that it probably was one of the dumbest and most exhilarating things I've ever done in my life😂😂😂
You are the food! You're out in the open encroaching on the animals' territory. They all are incredible and powerful. Elephants in particular are NO JOKE!!
Right. Because elephants eat people, all the time...
@@ChristLink-Channel no dumbass. Lions do. An elephant can out run a jeep, trample it, and kill anything in its path
Do you swim in the ocean? That is where sharks live. Do you sleep in a bed? That is where most people die.
@@unwoke1652 🤣🤣 same to you🤣🤣🤣🤣
Elephants 🐘🐘🐘 Don't eat People, They Can squish You Like A Bug 🪲 And Their Tusk 🦣 Can Do Lots Of Damage To You 😇
10:26 That nervous laughter after you literally almost just died😂
Animals always minds their business until someone invades their territory😮
We humans may have the last laugh but we still don't seem to learn the lesson..😘
These are only the videos where people got away 😶🌫️
Whew! This video gave me anxiety!🫣
16:24, how the safari guide diverted the elephant was absolutely professional.
