This Elephant was clearly going to win this war! In So. Africa during a safari on a rainy day where the trails were muddy and slippery, we encountered a very intense 20 minutes being charged and ready to attack. hint: Never mess with a horny elephant ... lol
heights of human ignorance. you all are very lucky to have survived.
Wow...so you guys actually thought it was funny to go into an elephants space just to annoy him?...this video was actually very sad and disrespectful... And to the African sitting on the back..I'm sure you've heard the phrase "an elephant never forgets," 🙄
Self hatred is real damn a car full of cave dwellers and you single The one brother...and to all you god damn cave dwellers acting self righteous you should stfu you mfs are the ones to take your funky inhumane greedy asses into Africa and make most of the animals extinct in the first place you fucking evil shot bags
@@youngham87 Dear Umoja I am sad that you demonstrate self hatred so pointedly. I hope you learn to love yourself and not take on the inhumanity of this world. I hope you let someone love you. I wish you strength and courage to continue being brave and kind.
@@deliawright8626 Very well put!

The elephant behaves normally, but a car full of stupid people.
people who go on these driving safari's need information and it should be a requirement (for licensing approval) that a safari company must educate and hold themselves and their customers accountable for their interactions with these powerful and wild beasts...these game reserves are not there to amuse and titillate thrill seekers...they are there to defend the shrinking footprint of the living world and the web of life that makes our lives on the planet even remotely feasible.
@@harmonyfem YO MAMA XDDD
They did everything they could to get him even more angry...and had that elephant charged their vehicle and harmed them..they would have shot him down..!!!!😠
Exactly. Revving the engine to get him to react. They are in the business of giving tourists a memorable experience.
"Why is he aggressive?" He's a wild animal and you're intruding on his territory. He's probably tired of being gawked at by tourist.
The questions they ask are beyond moronic.
That's a good reply
He is a wild animal that's why !!! I would not mess with him!!!
Elephant! What the hell are you lot looking at.
So bloody true
captured on video... ignorant humans and a beautiful elephant.
How stupid do you have to be to do crap like this? Sheeesh!

These guys are complete fools the elephant is telling them he wants them to leave with his trunk over his tusk, the elephant trumpeting and shaking his head
@@wtsdwr6751 yup +1👍
He gave you every warning sign that elephants display. Shaking his head, digging his tusk in the ground, putting his trunk over his tusk and others. Poor guide to stress this elephant like that. Shame on this guide, he truly did endanger his riders.
I was wondering what the hell the elephant was doing. In all the years I've been watching elephant docs I've never seen one contort itself like this nor have I ever heard anyone address this behavior. It's fascinating. I'd have gotten the hell out of there after the first display though. These guys were total fucking morons. It's one thing if you want to risk your own life...
Ya +1
The first and only sign you need was the ears that opened up. When I went to Kruger my guides actually understood that wildlife should be respected and not to anger them
God, no kidding. If you didn't get it before he went to the ground, that should have told them to get to outta there.
The video is fascinating, but I would have rather they respected him tbh ...
Not at all! The tourists got more than their money's worth, a ride they wouldn't get at Disney World!
(A bit like that pursuit scene in Jurassic Park, except real! Wow! )
The elephant clearly wanted them gone. Show a bit of respect!
Yes so true just leave him alone 😮🐘
Staying that close to a large elephant in musth strikes me as pretty stupid.
This is in South Africa. When we went on safari in Botswana, the guides there said that South African safaris have become too "commercialized." Unlike in Botswana the guides are more respectful in handling these type of situations. They're like "being one with nature" so to speak.
Off course they would say so we're competition.
@@jacopotgieter7222 Nah that’s true. South Africa isn’t much to be respected these days. Their actions are poor.
He's in musth & that's like the worst migraine, with the worst tooth aches & being filled with hormones. He's miserable & the driver is tormenting him.
He showed an enormous patience and self control.
It so evident that the engine noise is unbearable for the elephant
Yeah the noise is unbearable. I just made the connection with his weird behavior and the noise. Sometimes I hate humans.
And for us watching this video 🤦♂️
The guide purposely antagonized the elephant to make a truly memorable show for the American tourists. He was doing it for the show. Those tourists will tell that story with great delight for the rest of their lives. Sad, but true state of wildlife tourism in much of Africa these days.
How do you know they were American tourists? And is it their fault? BTW, they sounded like British to me. A$$hole.
@@simon77047 WTF are you on about? Firstly, who said anything was their fault? I very clearly said that the GUIDE was doing this (revving the engine, antagonizaing the elephant to the point where he charges). The American tourists (and they are CLEARLY talking with American accents, not British!) have no fault here. So I'm unclear what you're bleating about. A$$hole.
Not in Tanzania ! Which has the Best Animals In their Brilliant infamous Lands such as SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK WHICJ PROBABLY HAS THE MOSTANIMALS IN MOST OF AFRICA. The lands & Animals are protected by the Government. Ghis is their LAND if you found even as throwing a stone to shoo them inthe protected areas its an instant hefty fine or 6 months jail your choice. Ghis includes those Great White Hunters who come to Africa for a different kind of Safari, i lnow it happens in South Africa & us too but in a Forbidden Capacity where if youre caught no fine straight Jail time.. These are the ones that actually go hunting to Kill the Wild Animals why you ask? To take a picture with their kill🤬 I Mean Really? At this day & age? We’re already killling the Land, Air,Oceans full of Plastic killing even the besutiful Dolphins Seals other Fish even Sharks caught in this tangled net- plastic- carton- ropes- wrecks/ bodies thrown in their living environment. Is bad enough.evven little penguins!The last Great White i saw taking a picture with her kill Broke my heart😩😭the kill the harmless absolute picture of a tall Graceful beautiful animal with unique patterns completely different to most of the others totally harmless but it also represents Tanzania in its court of Arms just like the Eagle is to America, & still the Eagle is still more aggressive than this amazin
& & unusually tall animal the Giraffe , why on Earth would wanna kill one of these non provoking beatiful and graceful who havent got the gusto the Lions, Hippos, Elephants, Fastest Cat in the World Cheetah, dont worry even a pack of just African Dogs on your case cancel Chistmas. But a Giraffe!! Come on have you seen them fight, it is an absolute nightmare to watch they use theyre long necks to bash each other no strategy with those lanky long legs i look & wonder how they can stay up with such forceful power hits on their neck & bodies although sometimes a kick or two helps if you can get one in! Lol. This lady hunter had got her wish a massive was laying on her feet lots of photos takenetc Strange didnt see anyone show any one showing somekind of remorse for killling this unique animal for nothing. In places where you treat a common dog easily found anywhere in the world including the horribly abused & abandoned ones better then A rare & unique animal.one small wonder of the Universeyou obliterate for supeficial reason as well as disrespecting the animal representing Tanzania, a country you’ve just been visiting completely ignoring the countries National Park Regulations with the help of some corrupt guides i mmight add. Tanzania has these treats i worked in most of this places f to with a Band That had a contract to play music in lodges & Hotels. Ill start with the big one which has unfotunately succumed to Global warming to an extent. This is the Amazing
1)Mount Kilimanjaro ( highest mount in Africa)
2) We have part of the Rift Valley run thru our country
3) we have Olduvai Gorge for a nthropologists this is where Dr Leakey Said is where there first man came from!
4) if you look at the map of Africa Tanzania is the only country surrounded by three Lakes to NorthLake Victoria we share that with Uganda, which Idi Amin didnt like wanted it for Uganda but Tanzania soon let him know which belonged to Uganda. Lake Victoria is where the beggining of Nile! To the left of the indian Ocean is another huge Bordering lake to Tanzania used to be Lake Lake Tanganyika where Dr Stanley finally lound Explorer Livingstone Greeting him with the famous “Dr Livinstone i Presume! & proceeded to look atter the sick Livingstone.
Theres more interstings stuff in the next comment….
Exactly! The tourists certainly got more than their money's worth, and will spread the word, thus encouraging more adventurous visitors, thereby helping to pay the Park's maintenance costs.
Yep you are absolutely correct however him going back to squatting in jail gonna be hilarious asf
They dont have no BOSS BYTCHES at all whatsoever DONT BELIEVE THE HYPE 😂
GAME OVER 🖕🏽
Why do they continue to torment these poor animals. Then act shocked when someone gets hurt or killed by one. So they go kill an elephant. This needs to stop; Leave them in peace. You don't need to get so close and differently stop doing things to aggravate them. This is for all wild life we need to learn boundaries.
What a ridiculous way to behave revving the engine when the elephant obviously is upset, back the heck out of there, have some respect!!
Stop revving the engine you are idiots
The don't know that the nozy makes angry. If the where quite in the car it would have walked around and go.
I actually wish that massive beast would show that little safari who’s the boss of this area!
Then that elephant would be put down. That's not helping to save the elephants is it?
Veut il quelque chose ?
Qu’ils partent, c'est certain
That one woman was the only one that had respect for the elephant 🥺
Gunning the engine like that must've sounded challenging to him. Not a good idea & not respectful.
I would expect the tour guide to know this,it's like what not to do around elephants 101 !? Maybe he was trying to keep his American tourists happy? But inevitably realizes the elephant will not be intimidated
Good on the elephant, this is the only video I have seen with drivers and guides that have actually put the tourist lives at risk, they are there to protect them, the elephant would probably have just stopped for a nosy if they had pulled to one side and kept quiet, it was not the elephant that scared the ladies, it was the damn guides, very foolish
they are there to protect them
Yeah. The guides and ppl are all stupid. Wish that elephant had got them to be honest. Would have been worth the stupidity of all the ignorance on display
very bad part is tourism safari spoiling the forest ,for all animals giving tension. They should be allowed freely
@@Sooryabhaskar Bad part is the poachers buddy. Without tourism that bring money into a country that has massive scale poaching ,a poor country, there wouldn't be no elephants left. Damn poachers would have killed them off. Tourism money goes into conservation and preservation of wildlife parks to arm rangers with much needed fire power against poachers with their semi automatic rifles and I'm sure it can't be easy to fight battles against the enemy with old pieced together might work or not rifles when the poachers have machine guns!
The elephant showed them a death plunge a the beginning, he wasn't playing games with them, I've never seen them do that before show them he wants to kill them.
Once on the news years ago footage of a rogue circus elephant drop to its knees with its forehead on his handler on the ground and pop him like a grape. The footage was removed from the air. It is a common modality in elephant characteristics. It was stunningly awful.
What a magnificent, beautiful beast, ( that would just LOVE to be left alone to eat and explore without any noisy interruptions).
I know what I’d have done if I were the patient elephant, he sure was very patient with these idiots
What a horrible guide, to all who think it's ok to revving the engine like that, I suggest you watch some more elephant encounters on video with guides/drivers who know what they are doing.
Not defending the driver but in a case of nothing else to protect you do rev the engine.Watch some more videos
Guide are not 🤖,thatswhy they are different
I suppose you're an expert?
@@patroberts6918 Huge difference between useful protective reving and antagonistic reving
@@deliawright8626 Too bad the engine didn’t blow up on one of those revs
"Can you go faster." LOL The driver should have already had the truck turned around the opposite way instead having to back up thousands of feet first
He's tusking the ground.. One of the behaviours of a musth elephant
Wow he is stunning!!! And I am proud of him for protecting himself from the rotten humans he had seen in the past
Yeah especially Big mouth kept saying he is still following Us even she wasn't looking they should kicked out and left her there.
Oh dear....... Humans aren't rotten and self flagilating is wrong, you need to change your mind set lady
@@michellerowell158 Oh yes humans are absolutely rotten and extremely disrespectful towards the wild and earth. Do you even know because of our selfishness polar bears are affected heading towards extinction as they don’t have much ice as before even in their short summer, and snow leopards in Himalayan mountains have tough time catching prays also heading towards extinction as well. For what? So that you can eat out of season fruits and vegetables all year around that are sprayed so they won’t rot, consume livestocks that emit so much CO2, drive SUV to impress people and feel big about yourself? While polluting this earth left and right. Yeah. And don’t even get me started on the ocean pollution of all the plastics that are killing the marine species. Humans are destructive. We are rotten. Until a person like you in denials accept what evils we are doing to the earth, we remain rotten keep destroying the nature and this earth.
@@michellerowell158 Agreed. Rimmers like her should be thrown to the lions - well, angry olifants, in this case! 😜
The driver knew what the elephant was going to do but waited around for him to charge. This was irresponsible.
He must be a new person because you can't make a car sound like that around most animals. Need to be quite around the animals
tHey stuck in the mud.rain, slippery road. The driver /guide was silly.Had to back up faster and earlier! Not to irritate the ellie bul in musth ! @@zaitunjumakeji4120
I do not know much about elephants, but what I know is they have very, very sensitive ears and hearing. I have had a couple of encounters with elephants, some of them have been relatively close. But I have never ever seen such a behaviour, such moves of an elephant. The roaring engine must have been horrible for him. You shouldn't be proud of those 20 minutes you've experienced.
Seems like you were provoking it too me... was it too much to just watch it without making all that damn noise?
The revving of engine provoked him. Hate to tell you that's not the way guides should be "communicating" with elephants. It's threatening to them. Don't know where you were but the video makes me sad that there are "trained" guides out there doing this.
Kerri Mello The revving annoyed me too and i am on youtube. And i would have stood my ground or made a mock charge with the jeep usually they back off. His backing up turned on his instincts to charge or give chase.
if he didn't rev it, it would of stalled more than twice during the 9 minute video. Nothing to do with provoking the elephant, just keeping it running so he can get away with his clients who paid tens of thousands to be close to those elephants. Stick shift vehicle, not an automatic that can idle in 1st gear.
Most people do not understand what it's like to be guiding in the African bush with foreign tourists on board... it can get hectic!! When I came across a hyena on a pee stop in Chobe, Botswana, about 2 meters behind me, with my pants down... I was more worried about the tourists out of the vehicle back at the bus that I just jumped up and ran shouting "hyena hyena"
Absolutely agree! They should be banned from ever going back into park, much less taking people with them. Then innocents come along, after that teasing, get attacked and then poor animal gets put down. Aholes!
@@pattytrollip2473 .
These men will get you killed and will be laughing telling you to chill just before the elephant kills them. Yep, fools they be!
Its 2 late for that….A fight MIST HAPPEN HE IS A PHUCKING BULLY and always throws rocks and hide well thats history bc HE SENDING THEM CHICKS my way……Idk them but they all think they know me lol yeah ok we shall see folks we shall see 💯
These guides enjoy scaring the guests - what lodge is this ? IT NEEDS to go out of business
😂 agree
@@boneymad haha ya ya 😆😅not funny… ฉันเกือบตายกับข้างแอฟริกาใต้มาแล้ว
Ya is not funny 😆👍
LOL 😂 she said, “Can we go faster please?? He’s yelling at us!!! “ All jokes aside though, I didn’t like when he kept revering up his engine to taunt the elephant.
Why stupid people want to make Elephants angry.
Mineral harvest - Why is the elephant so stupid as to harrass humans? Humans can easily kill elephants! This rougue elephant should be destroyed.
tanzanable why are u so dumb. Would you like someone to come into you space do whatever they want and if u get to close they can kill does that sound fun to you? Tf use ur mind please.
Will the person that shot this video and posted it please tell us what park you were at and what tour guide company you had. Would be greatly appreciated. REALLY.
Que ignorancia el animal enfermo y los estupidos riendose
He minced no words in telling you to move out, but you kept revving and welcomed the charge... cheap yet costly thrills.
Stupid actually
This is why certain humans take the joy out of living for many species.
Elephant should’ve smashed their vehicle and let them walk back to where they came from at a hurried pace with him behind them. Irresponsible to say the least!
Tourists shouldn't think that what want to experience is the most important thing.
It's about respect and preservation.
Don’t blame the ellie! If 6 strangers pulled up on my driveway and started rev’ing their engine, they would get the same reaction from me. The ellie was very polite at first and these tools didn’t respect that its HIS property! Leave the ellies alone and stop trying to vilify these beautiful animals. We betray them every day, so don’t expect a warm reception when you show up and behave like that.
He was acting soo good...nominate for oscar..
I totally agree!! Ignorant people trying to be so clever. The elephant is actually laughing at them. He knows they are at his disposal😊
Leave the animals in peace. They are in their natural habitat where they belong, not hurting anyone. Can't we just let them be?
The guy in white hat said "just chill" 🤣. Can he say the same thing laughing when the elephant is in front of him 😂
I've been on ALOT of safaris and had a few nerve wracking encounters with elephants, the guides always turn the engine off or get the hell out fast, depending on the situation. Never seen an elephant do that before 🤯
The guide in this video is reckless. To sit there and constantly rev your engine at an elephant no wonder it got mad! Provoke much?If you watch Safari Live you will know how a guide is supposed to interact with a wild animal. Always respect that the bush is these animals home. We are the interloper!
ya blow your engine up while pissing an elephant off!just leave him alone..damn!
the driver should be fired after this. you are there to protect animals not to do this to them. it's not funny at all
amen this pisses me off hope the next time their car stalls kill the whole damn bunch
Janet Williams - The elephant was at fault. It was very disrespectful to the humans who built the road that it was intentionally blocking. It looked like the elephant was hungry and saw the humans as lunch.
I'm pretty sure he wasn't worried about "protecting" a 5000kg elephant. More like the innocent tourists.
I get you love animals but this elephant was never in any danger but the INNOCENT PEOPLE in the vehicle definitely were. How about start showing other humans the same care you show animals
This elephant wasn't even in any danger. Just stfu
@@harolynallison4161 Well no bc then the animal would probably be hunted & destroyed. But I hear ya...
How are these fools able to get away with such blatant animal harassment ???
An idiotic driver, guide and tourists. The next innocent people coming down the road might suffer grave consequences through this irresponsible behavior. Guides should not behave in this manner. He as revving the engine on purpose and should be penalized by the necessary authority
That driver is irresponsible. He knew the mental state of the elephant yet put his passengers in harms way. What would he have done if his vehicle stalled or failed to start?
he's in good mood,he's inviting you to play with
That was a big male, he was ready for mating and you disturbed his hunt for a female.
That's why he was aggressive and charging - and I would have done the same if in his shoes...
And the aggressive reving did not help...
@@deliawright8626
"reving" ??
@@CRN-68 Yes. It's the infinitive form of the verb to 'REVE', meaning to repeatedly depress the accelerator on a paused vehicle's engine, with the express purpose of irritating a wild animal. 😜

Merci de nous avoirs aidé à perfectionner notre anglais ! 👍🌍
Anyone who takes patrons on a tour should know that you don’t make noise especially if the animal is in musth
No respect for this beautiful elephant..
A beautiful elephant
The White girl is Hilarious. She said, "I'm Scared", with No Emotion
Lol she was scared
🤣
He warned them, time and time again...
It's not a safari, it's a home invasion
This guide is deliberately provoking the elephant by revving the engine,☹️
Elephant: Come at me, humans.
Humans: (stand their ground and rev the engine).
Elephant: Fine. You won't come at me? Well, then guess who's coming at you? ME!
4:27 and onwards: He chases them away.
Reminds be of a nightmares I have, that something is following me, and I can never get away.
Young playful and curious ellie. Wait till a bull charges.
You're right lady...and the jerk there is laughing. The lady is smart
Those parts of the world should be off-limit. It's not okay to upset an elephant when he's having a bad day.
Might not of been a bad day til these guys showed up...
What drama queens if you're that scared you don't need to go on safari
Leave Elephants alone.
That elephant thinking, stupid humans you want to take me on. BRING IT ON AND SEE WHAT YOU GET. They remember everything including you.
It's irritated with the sound of the engine. Stupid humans are provoking it to be aggressive
He looked like a playful showoff. But very dangerous.
they wouldn't be laughing when he charges the car
Apart from being in must, the irritating sound of the engine freaks this elephant out. What an irresponsible guide.
The tourists were never in danger. The driver playing games with the elephant to give them their money's worth, an adrenaline rush, and that freaked out girl fell for it
Exactly! The tourists certainly got more than their money's worth, and an unforgettable experience in Africa.
The driver should get a bonus!
This should be titled Idiot Guide vs Elephant
You sought out a safari experiece. I'm quite sure the expert guides knew their job and where the elephant was.
You rev the engine to portray your dominance, the elephant answers by making faces at you. I don’t think reving the engine is helping.
Well he showed them who was BOSS.WEll done ellie the elephant.you showed them humans xx
I wonder what effect gas fumes have on these animals?
Wont be laughing when the angry giant flips u over, elephant has the last laugh
It's all fun and games until the elephant has had enough and charges.
I think the elephants have been so decimated by trophy hunters that they will never trust humans in the wild again.
Leave these poor animals alone! When they square off like that. It’s time to leave. Don’t harass him by Revving up the engine. He is in HIS domain, you just happen to live in it.
That girl is right. She was laughed at when she asked if "we should keep going".
Misleading title!
NO Attack.
Elephant: "Get off my road. Stupid people. Gave them a show."
Why do people have to torment these animals? The noise, exhaust and the taunting. Just leave them alone
The lady said : I am scared I don,t want to see him, hahaha , it,s funny to hear what she said
This Elephant, under an agreement with guides, has earned a lot of delicious bananas today. Tourists are very scared and happy that they shortened the route. guides will finish work be earlier. Good job elephant😉
He's yelling at us. LOL
Could it be...the guide and the elephant have their own "routine" and the guide, after receiving "extra tips" from stupid tourists, returns at night to cut the elephant with a $20 and a bag full of peanuts??
He probably saying don't leave me.
Simple solution "don't fuck with elephants!"
This Guide has no right to be driving.
Traumatized for life.
Every time they are in a car they will be triggered to thinking they are being chased by an elephant.
That elephant is giving clear warning signs
Making that big noise for an elephant is so dumb. Stop pissing it off and just GTFO
Dude, when something that big comes down the road,, you move out of the way.
That elephant is exhibiting some strange movements. Can anyone explain the peculiar trunk contortions, the kneeling, the the grinding his head into the ground?
Fools. The elephant is giving plenty of warning.
This is the first negative comment I've ever made. Your behaviour in the presence of such a. Magnificent creature leaves no words, You should be ashamed of yourselves. Leave him alone and get out. No comment.
That woman is the smarters one there . She doesn't want to die!! That guide needs to be fired!
Seems pretty obvious to me that the elephant is having fun. Must be pretty boring being an elephant.
Stupid behaviour from the humans.
