00:00 These 12 African Safari trips that went wrong will surely give you nightmares for many nights
00:07 to come.

00:10 On a safari in South Africa, an explorer dangerously had a close encounter with a giraffe that
00:17 made him run for his life.
00:19 Giraffes, Earth's tallest mammals, boast legs taller than most humans measuring approximately
00:25 6 feet, contributing to their remarkable height.
00:39 Gazing in awe, the explorer casually stays inches close to the giraffe, not knowing the
00:46 danger in the next few seconds.
00:58 Thankfully he runs to safety unscathed, yet left with the fear of what could have happened.
01:05 11.
01:06 A group of photographers were capturing the wildlife in Sri Lanka when a massive elephant
01:11 got agitated and started to chase them.
01:25 Did you know elephants can communicate using a subsonic rumble that travels several miles
01:31 and is below the range of human hearing?
01:33 The group of photographers made the mistake of trying to catch the attention of the elephant,
01:39 which led to the animal becoming agitated.
01:42 A sudden wave of panic overwhelmed the group, causing them to frantically scramble in a
01:47 desperate hurry for their own safety and well-being.
01:50 Fortunately, the group of photographers managed to escape unharmed.
02:04 Eventually, the elephant stopped chasing them.
02:08 10.
02:09 In this video taken in the Masai Mara National Reserve, a curious cheetah is checking out
02:15 this guy's vehicle.
02:27 Did you know that cheetahs have semi-retractable claws?
02:31 This nifty adaptation provides them with exceptional traction while sprinting and making sharp
02:36 turns at high speeds.
02:37 This greyhound of the desert proceeds to mount onto the hood of this person's car and then
02:43 onto the roof.
02:54 Displaying its breathtaking agility, the majestic cheetah gracefully leaps off the safari vehicle,
03:01 giving tourists the opportunity to snap some awe-inspiring photographs.
03:08 Startled, the cheetah bolts far from the group, disappearing into the distance.
03:21 9.
03:22 Picture this.
03:23 You're at a South African reserve, and suddenly two massive rhinos come charging after your
03:30 vehicle, desperately trying to keep up.
03:43 The rhinos are trying to keep up with the vehicle, but attempting to outrun them is
03:48 not recommended, as they are powerful creatures.
03:52 Rhinos are incredibly strong animals, capable of charging at over 30 miles per hour and
03:58 lifting up to two tons with their powerful neck muscles.
04:07 Luckily, they kept a safe distance and avoided actions that could have provoked the massive
04:17 beasts.
04:18 8.
04:19 With deathly stares and warning growls, an aggressive lion confronts a group of daring
04:26 tourists who approach too closely.
04:39 The tail flicking, the deathly stare and the growling being an instant warning, the king
04:44 of the jungle was asking them to leave him alone.
04:58 The fearsome beast seemingly lunges at the group in an attempt to scare them off.
05:03 Lions are the only social cat species living in groups called prides that can consist of
05:09 up to 40 individuals and are led by females.
05:23 The vicious creature relaxes for a few seconds, but is still in attack mode as the group decides
05:29 to stay for a while.
05:30 If they stayed any longer, they could have been the deadly beast's next meal.
05:36 7.
05:37 Emerging suddenly from the bushes, the agitated elephant fixates on the car with intense agitation,
05:44 raising tension and creating a heart-stopping moment.
05:48 Elephants have a gentle temperament and are highly social, forming deep bonds with their
05:53 family members.
05:54 However, they can become aggressive when feeling threatened.
06:09 It starts to appear from behind the bushes and lunges at the vehicle, completely destroying
06:15 the front.
06:25 With the driver distraught after the encounter, the elephant flees away, leaving the driver
06:31 shocked.
06:32 6.
06:34 Two lions can be seen aggressively tailing a car, leaving the passengers scared out of
06:40 their wits.
06:51 Lions are big eaters.
06:53 They can eat up to a quarter of their body weight in a single meal.
06:57 That's about 40 kilograms of meat.
07:00 You definitely don't want one of these predators outside your car.
07:15 The beasts chase the vehicle, not letting go, and even damaging it, startling the tourists
07:20 inside.
07:21 In the safety of the vehicle, they eventually observe the beast retreating to a safe distance.

07:29 This video captures the violent and shocking moment when an elephant becomes the aggressor,
07:35 attacking a vehicle with multiple passengers by ramming it.
07:49 People desperately try to get out of the vehicle to avoid getting crushed by the strength of
07:54 this enormous mammal.
08:06 Here is the attack shown from another angle.
08:08 Watch how it absolutely destroys the vehicle like a mere toy.
08:13 Elephants are herbivores, which means they only eat plants.
08:17 It takes a lot of fuel to power such a large and powerful creature.
08:31 The damage looks severe, but luckily everyone made it out safely.
08:36 4.
08:37 In this video, a giraffe is spotted lunging at a car, which leaves the explorer frightened
08:44 and shaking from the scary encounter.
08:57 The giraffe trots, using its powerful neck to smack the destroyed car, causing even more
09:02 damage.
09:03 These ginormous and tall animals can reach appetizing goodies like fresh green leaves
09:09 and towering trees because of their long necks and legs.
09:24 The videographer is shaking, scared of the encounter with the giraffe, severely damaging
09:29 the car.
09:30 The clip sadly ends there, and it is unknown what happens next.
09:35 3.
09:36 In this short clip, a full-sized growling lion surrounded by curious tourists feels
09:43 threatened by the presence of humans.
09:46 Lions are highly territorial and may fiercely defend their territory against other lions
09:51 or predators, marking their boundaries with urine, roaring, and physical confrontations.
10:01 With a mighty roar, the beast chases away the intruders, asserting its dominance over
10:14 the territory.
10:15 2.
10:16 A cheetah approached these wildlife explorers, leaving them shaking from a close encounter
10:23 of the deadly beast.
10:35 Cheetahs are blisteringly fast and can reach speeds of up to 64 miles per hour in three
10:40 seconds, making them the fastest terrestrial animals in the world.
10:44 This fearsome predator approached the vehicle, startling the explorer with the close encounter.
11:00 The swift beast grabbed the belongings of the explorers, who couldn't do anything
11:04 about it, being helpless because of the danger if they retaliated.
11:11 The cheetah retreated, bringing along a souvenir
11:22 from its deadly encounter.

11:26 Our video here captures a lion feasting on its prey while tourists snap photos witnessing
11:32 the circle of life in action.
11:45 Suddenly on the horizon emerges the Maasai tribe, wielding spears and running towards
11:51 an unsuspecting lion in a heart-pumping moment.
12:05 This tribe, located in Maasai, Kenya, consists of skilled hunters that can take down any
12:11 animal, prey or predator.
12:14 As the tribe tries to catch the lion, the animal gets scared and scurries into the tall
12:18 grass, leaving its lunch behind.
12:31 With the tribe's strength in numbers, it defeats even the king of the jungle.
12:37 Thanks for watching until the end.
