In a recent viral video shared online, a safari driver remarkably saves the lives of tourists when an elephant chases the vehicle. In this video, a wild male elephant is seen charging aggressively in the direction of a Safari jeep. There is a path built inside the national park for guests who want to tour the area. The elephant was standing in the middle of the road when the jeep reached the spot. When the driver saw the elephant running towards the vehicle, he put the jeep in reverse and started backing away rapidly. The elephant got dangerously close to the vehicle, and the trunk and tusk of the animal touched the bonnet of the jeep a couple of times as well. However, the driver managed to keep his calm. The short video shows how skilled the driver really is, as he kept driving the car in reverse while looking into the outside rear-view mirror. It is important to note that drivers of such safari vehicles are trained to handle dangerous situations like these as they are constantly driving through a territory that belongs to wild animals.
