In Addo Elephant Park in South Africa we were chased by an elephant for a long long way. We were in a Landcruiser, and driving along a track and an elephant was following us at a run. Didn't take a lot of notice, but then noticed it was still there some time later and getting closer. The driver sped up and left him (or her) behind. It was definitely chasing the vehicle. I was disappointed as it could have made some good film footage but I suppose better than letting the elephant catch up with us.

Guess it was annoyed at the vehicle for some reason. If on a foot safari a good reason to have a competent guide with a rifle. This Landcruiser did have a big bore bolt action, but it was tucked away under the seat. The guide showed it to me because he knew I was a hunter and had been hunting elephants in Zimbabwe before we were at Addo.
