I was fortunate to have a safari experience in the '80's when I was in the military. I went to Kenya and took part in a 2 day safari to Tsavo East National Park. On that occasion we saw elephants from a distance, but the lions we saw within 25 feet of our vehicle. If you ever get the opportunity to go to Africa, this is one adventure I highly recommend. One word of advice though, and learned from experience.....DON'T DRINK THE WATER.
Elephant Attacks Car During A Safari
This ... is a nightmare.
Imagine filming a pack of elephants from afar, then suddenly seeing one charge toward your vehicle. That is what happened in this video uploaded to YouTube by JukinVideoDotCom.
Unfortunately, this is by no means the first time an elephant has attacked a nearby car.
Even if elephants are frightening when they make a beeline straight for you, poaching has made humans pretty dangerous to the animals as well. To find out more, check out the IUCN Red List or the World Wildlife Fund website.
