    People need to ALWAYS listen to their guides and always remain calm and NO sudden movements nor screams! This is a beautiful elephant and he is pushing his authority making sure those bipeds in their rolling boxes respect him. 😃💙

    This guide is very wise. He mentioned the do's and dont's of being on a safari guided tour. These are huge wild animals, best to remain fairly quiet, and not touch if an elephant gets close enough. Loved this video... thank you for sharing it.

    We have had some heart pounding encounters on safaris in the Lower Zambezi, but generally the drives and walks are quite uneventful. In camp, however, we have had a cow and calf that literally charged EVERYONE and some regular, massive bulls who can be very chilled but at times unnerving with how they seem to just appear out of thin air and can be curious enough to get really close to us ! But all in all, the 'resident' bulls are awesome, some a bit naughty and some generally silly like 6 ton puppies !

    So what I am interested in is bonding with African elephants.
    Am I right in saying that they memorise individual humans?
    If so if you were to approach an African elephant on foot with green foliage from a nearby tree wouldn't this convey to the elephant that you are merely seeking friendship?
    If you do this successfullly would that hold you in good stead with that elephant or its herd for future interactions? 🤔
