Hendry Blom was one of the somewhat fortunate guests who were not on the truck. Hendry shared his experience and footage of the sighting with LatestSightings.com.
Hendry, along with others that were on safari in the Pilanesberg Game Reserve, had stopped at the Rathlogo hide for a leg stretch, a bathroom break, and to also see what would be drinking at the waterhole that the hide looks over. However, the animal they saw was not at the waterhole but rather in the parking area.
While Hendry was using the bathroom, screams from outside alerted him to rush out. That’s when he saw a massive bull elephant charging his guide and friends. The elephant appeared huge as Hendry was on foot and hiding behind a few pieces of logs, which made up the “fence” of the parking area.
The biggest fear many of the onlookers had was that those who were in the vehicle were going to die. There was no way they could possibly survive an attack from such a huge animal! The guide was screaming, shouting, and even banging his hand on the side of his door to chase the elephant away.
The elephant, who was in musth, showed no signs of leaving and went straight for the vehicle, catching the front of the vehicle in his tusks. He lifted it off the ground and dropped it with a bang. Everyone watching panicked! Was everyone in the vehicle okay?
Screams from the anxious tourists in the vehicle could be heard, and the onlookers knew that they were okay. The bull elephant did not stop there; he came back for a second time and lifted the truck again. This time not as high, so as soon as the wheels hit the ground, the guide was able to create some space between himself and the elephant.
As the elephant walked off to the side of the hide, those standing in the open parking lot could breathe a sigh of relief. The elephant was not going to come for them. The guide circled back and told those that were watching this crazy scene unfold that they should be prepared in case the elephant returned, as he was very angry.
The entire group of tourists, with their hearts racing, stood quietly as they watched the elephant disappear into the thickets that surrounded the hide! What a relief that no one was injured, and neither was the elephant.

It looks like if the elephant hasn't even used 100% of his power but still lifts that truck easily.

This elephant just wants to test his strength. He lifts the truck, then throws it and steps back to see what happens. Rough caress for these tourists.
This is the money shot we all wanted, as if the cab passenger view wasn't crazy enough.

Elephants are not the animal to F around
This is not good - repeated incidents will lead elephants to become habituated to this type of aggression. Again vehicles need to stay at a distance and respect boundaries
I guess the tourists got what they payed for 😂😂😂😂😂
Elephant: "You have unpaid parking tickets and I'm impounding your vehicle."
Just telling them they're too close.
Tourons: "I wAnT tO tAlK tO yOuR mAnAgEr!"

Brilliant full power of that elephant amazing
When human desires meet unexpected situations, because of unrecognizable limitations that should be respected. This is how people unknowingly expose and put themselves in harm way over and over again just for a taste of pleasure. Lucky for them, hope they learn the lesson in this , stay far from wild animals, they will lot have mercy on you when your time comes.
i thought that animals just looked at the trucks as part of the environment and just ignored them?......
I read it as elephant picks truck full of tortoises at first 😅
Who says humans are the intelligent species?
Cool video! Let's be honest, the car is not a rival to the elephant! The elephant showed that he is stronger, more restrained, and smarter. Protect the environment!
It's checking Tyre quality.

Why did the elephant only try to lift the truck to a limit? Sizing up the truck's density? Amazing footage... guy's loud voice is kind of upsetting.

Never understood why humans think they can go close to wild animals in their own habitat and not consider it dangerous and something unexpected to happen … it’s just insane and those crazy Africans.

That's what started this whole mess. He was just standing in the road, and the driver was yelling at him, banging his door, and the elephant just came up, lifted it up, and walked off 😂. Totally thevdrivers fault.

If you notice carefully, bro was only using one of his tusks only to lift over a ton of weight. Now you know why Ivory is valuable to poachers!
The driver was making everything worse with his big mouth …
Sheer power! Never mess with a elephant bull in musth… up to 15,000lbs of testosterone fueled aggression!
Why is he angry??
I don't know the context but why getting too close to the elephant in their element? The tourists need to use their telephoto lens not their phone

The driver should be disciplined as his behavior was ludicrous to say the least. Whether he shouts or slams the door, the elephant did not understand and therefore personnel working in National Parks should be trained to respect the wildlife and not try to impress himself in front of tourists.

This situation happened in a parking lot, many of the tourists didn't make it into the truck in time when the bull suddenly showed up. A bull in musth at that. He did not try to impress, he tried to save the people and risked getting hurt or even killed himself.
