Pfft . . that elephant wasn't charging that bus - he was trying to get through the traffic jam - I count at least 7 vehicles. Notice how he stops when they do? But it does look like he's learned he can make cars back up. He should call for the baboons - now they can inflict some serious damage ripping bits off your vehicle.
the driver is wisely backtracking ... if the elephant attacks the front of the bus, no harm would happen to any of the tourists, but the driver would be killed.
I want know what happened next, where is the other part of this video? hopefully nothing happened to those poor tourist. next time don't play with bull desert Elephants, they are only found in Namibia and a bit in Mali. that was not an African Elephant but a Desert Elephant.
yeah, thats no charge, not even a mock charge. They love to push u once u started reversing. but better to stay clear of this quy, he is in musth and they can snapp easily
He is huge, healthy and and well built. , Note he is not charging.. he is just walking his way.. because he surrounded. and till the point of walking away.. he is surrounded by many vehicles.. !! he is just curious as he walks.. out of all vehicles.
What's amazing is the 90% of 4x4 drivers are useless driving forward and here they are drive into each other in reverse. Pitty the Bull was'nt in squash a 4x4 mood...:))
note Elephant walking down road. Path of least resistance. the elephants use the roads to cover distances between waterholes. If the vehicles stayed put the elephant bull would simply walk around them and carry on down the road.
We also have our experience with elephants in Etosha. Most of the time we kept distance to those animals but if you have realized that elephants took notice of you and if they have walked behind you it is a horrible situation.
I agree with you this elephant enjoyed chasing the bus and the other cars.
I've experienced elephants doing this sort of thing with a bus I was on in Kruger. There, the elephant was a lone, large bull. He causally walked at our bus head-on and then, at the last instant, slowly 'charged' the bus with the ears out. When the ears are out, I have been told that it is a false charge (head lowered and ears back is presumably a for-real charge). The elephant seen in this clip, like the Kruger elephant, appears to be having fun intimidating folks. Bet he's done this before!

They should use a bus with engines on both sides.
I hope they keep guns ready, just in case.

The elephant is just trying to appear threatening but is not really attacking, otherwise he would hide his trunk under his stomach.
