Sometimes you can't avoid getting close. I was once driving a car in Hwange and we ended up with elephants crossing in front, so I stopped. Then we had elephants crossing behind as well. And then an elephant feeding right beside the car. When those in front were out of the way, and the elephant beside us had his bum turned towards us, I drove out a bit faster than usual, he turned in shock towards the track. I pity any cars behind us! But also it was right on gate closing time so had to get through the gates before they were closed.

The car in the video is driven by a twit. He keeps inching forward closer and closer to the elephant when he was already close. Should have just sat there. Also you wonder how much noise they may have been making in the attacked car? When they should have been quiet.

The camera person filming is also bloody annoying! Hold the camera on the target!
