Nearly had myself and two passengers taken out by a mob of kamikaze giraffe in Tanzania. Was driving a 4wd when they came boiling out of the nyika across the road in front and behind us. Scared the crap out of me! Was some zebra mixed in there too. However the giraffe really had my attention. Stood on the brake and bought us to a pulsating stop.

I really don’t know why we didn’t hit at least one. They got big very fast! We looked back into the bush but nothing chasing them. The got across the road and just milled about.

Later re-reading John Pondoro Taylor he mentioned that as roads were developed in Africa the Giraffe liked to play “last across the road” like chickens! Boy was he ever correct.

Have some photos somewhere from the drivers seat.
