If you have ever been this close to a large bull elephant then you will understand WHY the guide/driver was asking for quiet. Had that bull got really upset then there could have been major damage. Back in 2005 in Lake Manyara in Tanzania we had a large bull (about this size) walk past our van. Our driver/guide knew what was about to happen and had turned off the engine and asked to be quiet. The elephant was less than 1 metre from our van - we could hear him breathing. An exciting experience.
He's probably been doing that for years. I'll wager that he knows far more about elephants than anyone else in that vehicle...and more than you as well. The lives of everyone on that vehicle,including him,were in danger.
Both of you serfs missed the point here it’s not about whether the turd knows more than any one in the vehicle who cares it was why was he YELLING for everyone to be quiet 🤫 Now go eat your cookies and milk in your moms basement troll
Single strong voice is different from multiple murmurs. Which could increase the elephants curiosity, something the guide obviously wanted to avoid. He knows how to handle the situation, too many people here are jumping to unfair conclusions.
Please read Elizabeth Vosloo´s remarks. I couldn´t agree more. Perhaps that should be incorporated in the remarks section. Thank you Elizabeth.

Thank you for these interesting informations about Amarula and his sad story. I also pitied the driver that he had to cope with such a big bunch of stupid people. I understand Amarula very well. I also dont like cars, they are noisy, ugly and their exhaust damages everything living on the planet.
the guide lost his composure and temper; I think he cause that unnecessary scene; animals are perfect in feeling frequencies: and besides the elephant was very calm; it's just the guide was the only animal who was ill tempered and not suitable to guide: doesn't surprise he doesn't belong to this ecosystem: i wouln't pay him a penny
Hmm, how about just letting handbrake off and gently rolling out of the way as he was going past?? And why didn’t they back off in the first place! Sorry, but that WAS badly handled.
Yeah agree, to be honest I see it a lot guests not being quiet but but if you do a proper predrive speech and lay down the rules it helps, he sounds rude, but the guest were noisy too
I’ve been on a safari and it is essential that you listen to the guide. He’s at risk, too. The guests were extremely rude!! If I were that guide, I’d immediately turn the rover around and drop these ungrateful losers back at the lodge. 😠
@@Lizarthur63 Yeah but if noise around the elephants is dangerous I think his screaming is a bit more noticeable to the elephant than whatever murmuring is going on among the tourists 😂 just a bit. If safety is immediately threatened, he took it a notch up 😂
I keep rewatching this video, “can you keep fucking quiet please” “i told you 100 times keep quiet, see now what you do!?” in the most frustrated voice. 😂 oh man, comedy gold.

@@asianguy6174 Yes - he could have rampaged. When you compare the destruction and cruelty to man's, no contest... and men don't even need musth as an excuse for their violence.
@@mortalclown3812 Oh please! This is a huge elephant that can hand you your a$$ in a second. We all know the brutality of humanity but that is besides the point here.
These tourists are from India and they can never be quiet and contain their excitement around wild animals. I am also from India and can understand the foolish women in the video talking in Hindi and I am very much familiar with this kind of behavior of my country men. While in Indian safari too they create havoc in the national parks and put every animal to maximum distress and behave like a group of chattering monkeys around them. I have been observing this for many many years now and cannot find a solution to this problem. I am sure the guide would not have faced such a situation while guiding tourists from other parts of the world. That is the reason why he found himself in a dangerous situation brought upon him by these mindless tourists. One of the woman mindlessly complains in Hindi why the guide did not move the vehicle. This shows that she has no understanding and etiquette how to be on a tour in a safari or a national park or for that matter behave around wild animals.
He made a noise which supposed to --short and very loud--to make animal to move away.Especially Amarula! The guides know the temper and behaviour of many animals in the park, and the Amarula was the elderst and famoust one!
@@MaryPoppins-tu1ms One needs to be calm in every situation. Especially being a tour guide a that moment. Mary you have point by saying that he was doing the right thing but maybe he could have done it in a better manner.
The elephant finally saw the opportunity to reach that itch!. He just didn’t have enough time. The guide was aggravating an already annoyed customer after waiting for him to arrive but then rushing him to finish what looked like the most glorious and satisfying back scratch I’ve ever seen in my life.
@Korect1 believe me, screaming at the people so that the elephants all over the park could hear him, had NOTHING to do with distracting the elephant, that is done with short, quick shouts, almost like commands. No he was just a complete moron, but, admittedly there seemed to be a frickin whole bunch of morons in that particular group. Maybe they were from that place in Pietermaritzburg they call groendoekies or something.
The guide appears to be the only one freaking out and he most certainly was the one getting the attention of the elephant. I would also be anxious because of the lack of experience of the guide. It will be interesting to get remarks from other guides. Swearing most certainly did not work now did it.
Alot of idiots in the comment section so having worked with elephants for 27 years, they have heard his voice several times over and he's in fear someone might set the elephant off knowing he's in a mood already.
That’s a thrill these people won’t ever forget. They really do look bigger in person. However, it’s a shame some people don’t understand the seriousness of the guide telling them to be quiet. They might be big and strong, but elephants, especially African Elephants are unpredictable and more easily spooked than Asian Elephants. They can become incredibly dangerous in a split second. They are super intelligent and know they could easily cause some damage to the vehicle but I think this one was just interested more than threatened.
In a microsecond that perception can change. One of the 'gental' giants can toss a pretty heavy vehicle like a toy. Hence the guides 'light chiding' of the tourists.
lol the guide told them politely the first time to be quiet and no matter how simple a request it was the tourists just couldn't stop bumping their gums.
Agree. Furthermore, that is not the way to treat your guests - and his radio was on! Plus, he should have known better, now he's blaming the guests! "Look what you made me do"....
Elephants are extremely intelligent. You should NEVER forget how powerful they are. This one was just being curious but knows his strength and could have killed everyone in that tram in 2 seconds if he wanted to. Always listen to the tour guide. But this time HE was the one making to much noise.
"Will you be quiet please, last warning!"... Then proceeds to turn his engine on that sounds like a tractor and takes calls on his walkie talkie then shouts " be quiet!". I think he's hearing voices in his head.
I think if he wasn't telling the tourists to be quiet they'll start a frenzy. Single strong voice is different from multiple murmurs. Which could increase the elephants curiosity, something the guide obviously wanted to avoid. He knows how to handle the situation, too many people here are jumping to unfair conclusions.
@@videetshah please read up on how fast an elephant can run, around 40km/h. To do a U-turn when you're trying to avoid attention is the last thing you want. Plus safari is about close experiences, but animals are animals, sometimes you sense they're not in a good mood. He sensed that and was trying to control the situation.
That's an amazing bull elephant and those tourists would never forget that experience. Elephants are my top favorites but an encounter this close to a large bull elephant might have made me pee in my pants.
That was a crazy, brutal elephant attack. If the tourist weren't so noisy, I'm sure the elephant would have just walked on by. Good thing the tour guide was there yelling at the top of his lungs to keep things calm and quiet.
The elephant probably would've strolled on & left everyone,but that one guy. He kept yelling "everybody quiet!", everybody f***ing quiet!" Okay that means you ,too,Mr.Park Ranger....
Yeah he has a reputation for doing this. There’s a famous picture of him sitting on a VW Polo. I though the “attack” was going to be on the white car in front of the game drive vehicle. Something on the truck triggered him though and it may have been the noise or the scent or something he didn’t like. That being said the video starts of late so maybe the guide had time to turn the vehicle around and had a safer escape method than to just sit there and wait as he approached. I always give Amarula a wide wide berth whenever I see him in the park…
@@videetshah The animals view those vehicles as a part of their surroundings. By making excessive noise the elephant could change that evaluation and designate the bus as an intrusion into his territory. The people needed to STFU because it could have easily toppled that bus
Yes.... I completely agree... As a tourist we may have made a mistake.... But when the incident happened.... The reaction from the tourists were also spontaneous
Elephants deserve a certain level of intellectual respect from humans for how "gentle" their gentle side is. We could learn how to be big and powerful in a good way...
I think the tour guide was knowledgeable. He didn't want chatter and whispers that the elephant would investigate. But he yelled out aggressively to the elephant at different points when the elephant changed angles with his tusk. The tour guide knew he could possibly warn off the elephant with aggressive tones and yells but not the whispering murmers of the tourists.
Fully agree!! We had 3 encounters with elephants recently. You keep your lip zipped. And be still. Or get a big surprise. He handled the situation well. And nobody got hurt. Most people are unaware that the low level tourist chatter, is a big problem starter. Yes, he shots at the elephant with authority. One voice. One voice only.
What nonsense - the Ranger shouldn't be a tour guide! I have been living in wildlife reserves for almost 30 yrs, and that's Not the way a ranger should behave!!
I have just been on a safari and experienced near attack and the guide was incredible. We were all calm and quiet. It sounds like the guide has told the group multiple times to be quiet even before this. The guides know more than us so listen
The guide was correct. Animals see a vehicle as one unit, but if you hang out of it, you break the outline, or if everybody starts screaming or just talking loudly, they get irritated or are startled and then anything can happen.
There are 2 type of tourists. Those who are earnest and there for the nature, who can keep their mouths shut and those, especially families with young ones, who treat the Safari like a picnic and can't stop talking or making inside jokes and remarks and are easily bored. A safari is no picnic. It needs patience because it takes hours and hours if riding in the back of a 4x4 and eating dust and insects. I am sure that this driver had been with this group for some time and and knew how noisy they could be and was tired of seeing them treat the Safari like a day on the beach. That's why he started with last warning. I'm sure he had asked .any times before for them to be quiet.
@@mcfanrobinhood So what? You're totally missing the point. They get paid for a job, a job telling dumb tourists to shut the hell up. It's not a picnic, you're literally in the wild and can die. The guide is essentially responsible for these idiots lives, so of course he's gonna freak out. Good on him.
@@serenitysmith352 Those same people that are blaming the guide are the same mofo's who would be talking or constantly moving their body. People just don't realize how things can go from 0 to 100 real quick.
Those of you making comments about the guide, he knows exactly what he’s doing. The sounds made by the tourists agitate the elephant or stoke its curiosity making it linger on. His shouting actually makes the animal back away.
To everyone bombing the guide. He works with these animals daily. From the perspective of an animal controller it is better that commands etc should be coming from him. From an animals perspective there are sounds that scared people produce that may encourage the animals uneasiness and there are clear voices that command your respect. The guide was doing his job and he did it well enough under the given circumstances. These tourists paid for the thrill and being hushed as a scary animal walks your way is part of it...
The guide was professional.... We were for 2 days with him on game drives.... We had unbelievable sightings... But just this incident may be freaked him out as well! But all was good.... We shared a beer in the end
@@videetshah It's amazing to hear from the person who was actually there. This must have been so exciting to experience. Will you agree with me that the guide is not necessarily a bad person as neither were the tourists in the vehicle, the moment was just overwhelming and people were just reacting under the given circumstances..

I’ve been on a safari and it is essential that you listen to the guide. He’s at risk, too. The guests were extremely rude!! If I were that guide, I’d immediately turn the rover around and drop these ungrateful losers back at the lodge. 😠
@@Lizarthur63 Yeah but if noise around the elephants is dangerous I think his screaming is a bit more noticeable to the elephant than whatever murmuring is going on among the tourists 😂 just a bit. If safety is immediately threatened, he took it a notch up 😂
He just wanted a big hug from the bus. Scratchy on each of his sides. 🐘🐾❤️
I love how the guide YELLS be quiet all the time!😂😂😂
I keep rewatching this video, “can you keep fucking quiet please” “i told you 100 times keep quiet, see now what you do!?” in the most frustrated voice. 😂 oh man, comedy gold.
Single strong voice is different from multiple murmurs. Which could increase the elephants curiosity, something the guide obviously wanted to avoid.
He knows how to handle the situation, too many people here are jumping to unfair conclusions.
He’s big, he’s strong and he’s scary in musth yet he’s still a majestic, intelligent and gentle giant.
Please spare me
I think the guide needs to be quiet he's yapping loud enough to as my. Mum. Would say to wake the dead
Gentle?
@@asianguy6174 Yes - he could have rampaged. When you compare the destruction and cruelty to man's, no contest... and men don't even need musth as an excuse for their violence.
@@mortalclown3812 Oh please! This is a huge elephant that can hand you your a$$ in a second. We all know the brutality of humanity but that is besides the point here.
"Will you be fucken quiet please!!"....love it.
I'm applying for a job as a guide in South Africa .
That is not South Africa. That is an Asian elephant. African elephants are bigger with bigger ears.
You definitely should
Sir.... This is an African Elephant and this scene happened at Kruger National Park, SouthAfrica
@@videetshah this is Pilanesberg, not Kruger National Park
@@kev5363 how did you know?
As a former teacher, I can totally relate to the guide 😅
That was scary! I hope I never have to encounter a tour guide like that.
Exactly if the elephant could speak he would of said no you be quite
This was no elephant "attack". The elephant was just scratching himself 🙄
Hahaha.... The elephant tried to pull over the vehicle as well...with the scratch
I thought the same
He is just wanna relief from itching..so he was just scratching himself..nothing like attack
@@yuvraj8bp174 The elephant looked like he was in "musk" The guide knew how dangerous the situation was & behaved well!
@@videetshah misleading title. Not an attack.
This video should of been named “tour guide attacks tourists!”
😂😂😂
The elephant just wanted everyone on the bus to give him a scratch.
🤣🤣
These tourists are from India and they can never be quiet and contain their excitement around wild animals. I am also from India and can understand the foolish women in the video talking in Hindi and I am very much familiar with this kind of behavior of my country men. While in Indian safari too they create havoc in the national parks and put every animal to maximum distress and behave like a group of chattering monkeys around them. I have been observing this for many many years now and cannot find a solution to this problem. I am sure the guide would not have faced such a situation while guiding tourists from other parts of the world. That is the reason why he found himself in a dangerous situation brought upon him by these mindless tourists. One of the woman mindlessly complains in Hindi why the guide did not move the vehicle. This shows that she has no understanding and etiquette how to be on a tour in a safari or a national park or for that matter behave around wild animals.
I dont think this was in South Africa.These guides are profesionabile.They are all well trained.
Did anybody else notice that the only one making a lot of noise was the tour guide telling everybody to be quiet...🤣
You can hear be is scared
Yes. How did he even become a tour guide?
@@manolimbaya4785 You a silly, that is why you don't understand that he was doing right things!
He made a noise which supposed to --short and very loud--to make animal to move away.Especially Amarula! The guides know the temper and behaviour of many animals in the park, and the Amarula was the elderst and famoust one!
@@MaryPoppins-tu1ms
One needs to be calm in every situation. Especially being a tour guide a that moment.
Mary you have point by saying that he was doing the right thing but maybe he could have done it in a better manner.
What a gentle giant! Sad to learn that he passed away.
The elephant finally saw the opportunity to reach that itch!. He just didn’t have enough time. The guide was aggravating an already annoyed customer after waiting for him to arrive but then rushing him to finish what looked like the most glorious and satisfying back scratch I’ve ever seen in my life.
The guy saying to be quiet is 100 times louder than everyone else put together :)
@Korect1 believe me, screaming at the people so that the elephants all over the park could hear him, had NOTHING to do with distracting the elephant, that is done with short, quick shouts, almost like commands. No he was just a complete moron, but, admittedly there seemed to be a frickin whole bunch of morons in that particular group. Maybe they were from that place in Pietermaritzburg they call groendoekies or something.
The guide appears to be the only one freaking out and he most certainly was the one getting the attention of the elephant. I would also be anxious because of the lack of experience of the guide. It will be interesting to get remarks from other guides. Swearing most certainly did not work now did it.
Between the guy screening for quiet and the tourists that keeps on talking , this is a comedy of idiocy
Alot of idiots in the comment section so having worked with elephants for 27 years, they have heard his voice several times over and he's in fear someone might set the elephant off knowing he's in a mood already.
@@jdawg9137 You can help other by explaining, but no need to call others "idiots".
That’s the gentlest attack I’ve ever seen
Looks like he was just scratching himself.
RIP, Amarula. You were a gentle giant...
That’s a thrill these people won’t ever forget. They really do look bigger in person. However, it’s a shame some people don’t understand the seriousness of the guide telling them to be quiet. They might be big and strong, but elephants, especially African Elephants are unpredictable and more easily spooked than Asian Elephants. They can become incredibly dangerous in a split second. They are super intelligent and know they could easily cause some damage to the vehicle but I think this one was just interested more than threatened.
Amarula is (was) majestic and seemed very itchy.
Rest in peace you beautiful creature.
Lol. Yes Rip Amarula. Beautiful elephant 🐘
Love how the guide says be quiet while yelling, be quiet.
"CAN YOU BE QUIET PLEASE!!!!!" "LOOK AT WHAT YOU DID" xD
What an adorable, gentle, beautiful creature! 💜
I agree I love elephants so much❤
The elephant was adorable too!
In a microsecond that perception can change. One of the 'gental' giants can toss a pretty heavy vehicle like a toy. Hence the guides 'light chiding' of the tourists.
@@thusspokezarathustra Well put..
Shouting "be quiet please" is surely an oxymoron...
lol the guide told them politely the first time to be quiet and no matter how simple a request it was the tourists just couldn't stop bumping their gums.
you bump your gums when you speak? sorry you lost your teeth old man.
Such beautiful and majestic animals! I love watching them.
The game ranger is making more noise than the guests
I completely agree
Likes the sound of his own voice
🤗
Agree. Furthermore, that is not the way to treat your guests - and his radio was on! Plus, he should have known better, now he's blaming the guests! "Look what you made me do"....
He was professional for the entire 2 days of game drive that we were with him.... It was just this incident that freaked him out....
Strong, Sincere, Beautiful, Majestic Wonderful Creature of Nature!!
Absolutely! We humans should be ashamed for killing so many for their ivory...
Are we talking about the elephant or the guide? 🤣
The guide of course! @ekstein malan
And clumsy.
@@eksteinmalan3517 the guide is a real nlgger comedy gold. .be quite be quite. Screaming and yelling non stop.
The guide shouting silence like the elephant was one of the creatures from the movie "A Quiet Place "😂
Isn't it reassuring when a level-headed and sensible person is at the wheel? Oh, never mind.
Elephants are extremely intelligent. You should NEVER forget how powerful they are. This one was just being curious but knows his strength and could have killed everyone in that tram in 2 seconds if he wanted to. Always listen to the tour guide. But this time HE was the one making to much noise.
Exactly xD "BE QUIEEEEET BE QUIET" ahahahha
Tourists are stupid . They go into new environments with dangerous animals they know nothing about , and won’t take the tour leaders guidance .
Very rude tourguide also.... maybe a banggat
I would have told the tourists to SHUT UP ! if you don’t want a tusk in your gut . I congratulate the guide on his restraint .
Yes to BE QUIEEEET!!!
"Will you be quiet please, last warning!"... Then proceeds to turn his engine on that sounds like a tractor and takes calls on his walkie talkie then shouts " be quiet!". I think he's hearing voices in his head.
😆😅🤣
I know. He's the one making all the noise 🤣🤣
nice.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 can you be fucking quiet please
Elephants are used to tour guides voice and the sound of the tour bus engine.
It’s the new voices that will get its attention.
This tour guide is THE frantic one here, screaming his little head off
The boer accent made me l laugh even more. 😂😂😂
I think if he wasn't telling the tourists to be quiet they'll start a frenzy.
Single strong voice is different from multiple murmurs. Which could increase the elephants curiosity, something the guide obviously wanted to avoid.
He knows how to handle the situation, too many people here are jumping to unfair conclusions.
Maybe .... But we thought during the incident.... Why didn't he move the vehicle...when given a chance!
@@videetshah please read up on how fast an elephant can run, around 40km/h. To do a U-turn when you're trying to avoid attention is the last thing you want.
Plus safari is about close experiences, but animals are animals, sometimes you sense they're not in a good mood. He sensed that and was trying to control the situation.
People always think they know because they watch National Geographic
@@cynthia8801 I don't quiet understand.
You are aren't very smart are you?
“Can you be fkinggg quiet please “ 😂😂😂
Lmao
The guide made all that noise hollering "Be quiet!" That elephant was just scratching his butt and letting that guide know he was a nuisance!
Tourists were barely making any noise at all except for a few light whispers....Tour guide- "HEY...... HEYYY!....WILL YOU F**KING SHUT UP!" Lol
The Elephant has made only a warning...what a wonderful animal
Yes....hell of a majestic beast!
yelling, yelling and yelling helps very much to keep everything quiet 8-)
I agree, this tour guide should be "Fired " from his job.
That's an amazing bull elephant and those tourists would never forget that experience. Elephants are my top favorites but an encounter this close to a large bull elephant might have made me pee in my pants.
Guide: be quiet!!!!!!
Tourists: Does he mean we can talk????? 🤣🤣🤣
Majestic, truly Majestic !!! Hope he is still around.
He is older and a few more wrinkles but yes he is still a tour guide and shouting at the people
Sadly not with us anymore
Which? Tour guide or elephant?
@@olumuyiwakomolafe4573 This elephant died in Fed 22.
@@jackc70 😂😂😂😂
That was a crazy, brutal elephant attack. If the tourist weren't so noisy, I'm sure the elephant would have just walked on by. Good thing the tour guide was there yelling at the top of his lungs to keep things calm and quiet.
If there was going to be an attack it would have been the elephant throttling the tour guide 🤣👍🏽
The only one who is yelling and carrying on is the god damn driver. lol 😂 hilarious.
"I'm going to shout louder and louder until you all be quiet".
The elephant probably would've strolled on & left everyone,but that one guy. He kept yelling "everybody quiet!", everybody f***ing quiet!" Okay that means you ,too,Mr.Park Ranger....
The tour guide: Can you be quite please!!! Very loud!! 😂
Stunning... beautiful elephant, but I’d have needed my brown trousers on to witness that event!
I think the guide was shit scared😂😂
What an unprofessional ranger. Amarula is chilled, he's messing with them 😂
Amrula was not in a good mood
He gave us chills down the spine
100% Agreed! He should be reprimanded for his antics...
Yeah he has a reputation for doing this. There’s a famous picture of him sitting on a VW Polo. I though the “attack” was going to be on the white car in front of the game drive vehicle. Something on the truck triggered him though and it may have been the noise or the scent or something he didn’t like. That being said the video starts of late so maybe the guide had time to turn the vehicle around and had a safer escape method than to just sit there and wait as he approached. I always give Amarula a wide wide berth whenever I see him in the park…
@@SouthAfricanWanderer He's an AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL tusker!
Question though: What happened to his tail?
@@CoreyMillionaire2029 most common theory is that he lost it fighting another bull in the park
Shouting about Silence. Very smart move.
Those tusk are So big, I guess he'd lift that minibus with the occupants like a toy.
What's the name of the tour company so I don't ever go with them. ?
I would rather recommend you to go for the same one.... if you want such thrilling experience #mabula game lodge
Company name is Seek and destroy Gmbh from Duseldorf.
GmbH?
The driver is the one who is scared and yelling trying to make it seem as if it is the tourists fault.
The point is...why din't he start moving the vehicle when given a chance
@@videetshah yes very true. He wants to make it as a thrill
Wow the guide is very rude wow
@@videetshah The animals view those vehicles as a part of their surroundings. By making excessive noise the elephant could change that evaluation and designate the bus as an intrusion into his territory. The people needed to STFU because it could have easily toppled that bus
Yes.... I completely agree... As a tourist we may have made a mistake.... But when the incident happened.... The reaction from the tourists were also spontaneous
I could hear all their hearts pounding in their chests. And folks, silence means - SHUT UP.
The reactions were spontaneous. But we were quiet and tensed in the entire situation
Yes bullshit. The guide shouting and yelling .. be quite be quite non stop with anxious voice.
Elephants deserve a certain level of intellectual respect from humans for how "gentle" their gentle side is. We could learn how to be big and powerful in a good way...
А слон просто хотел свои бока почесать.😉🐘
The tourist guide is making more noise than anyone else…
Reminds me of king Julian from “Madagascar”…
“Who’s still talking..?!…Oh…It’s me…”
Ya gotta love tour buses without windows or doors. I wonder if lions see them as snacks al fresco.
Omg that guide
Making more noise than all of them combined
A tour guide who yells at himself. Priceless!
Yes He Was The Very AGGRESSIVE ONE. 😡😡😡😡😡
I think the tour guide was knowledgeable. He didn't want chatter and whispers that the elephant would investigate. But he yelled out aggressively to the elephant at different points when the elephant changed angles with his tusk. The tour guide knew he could possibly warn off the elephant with aggressive tones and yells but not the whispering murmers of the tourists.
what bs
Fully agree!!
We had 3 encounters with elephants recently.
You keep your lip zipped.
And be still.
Or get a big surprise.
He handled the situation well.
And nobody got hurt.
Most people are unaware that the low level tourist chatter, is a big problem starter.
Yes, he shots at the elephant with authority.
One voice.
One voice only.
Please. They should have driven away at the very start
@@mortalclown3812 then risk a charging elephant ? It’s best to just remain stoic
What nonsense - the Ranger shouldn't be a tour guide! I have been living in wildlife reserves for almost 30 yrs, and that's Not the way a ranger should behave!!
I have just been on a safari and experienced near attack and the guide was incredible.
We were all calm and quiet.
It sounds like the guide has told the group multiple times to be quiet even before this.
The guides know more than us so listen
The guide was correct. Animals see a vehicle as one unit, but if you hang out of it, you break the outline, or if everybody starts screaming or just talking loudly, they get irritated or are startled and then anything can happen.
He was making more noise than anybody. He's just another show off in South Africa.
Then why didn't HE shut up? He was being the only obnoxious one there!!
And he was the loudest one 😂
These adults suddenly became children who didn’t know how to be quiet and keep silence.
Elephant humor, just to hear these puny humans yell and scream, while he uses their vehicle to scratch himself.
The tourist should have voted that tour guide off the bus 😆👍🏽
This is the real King. Majestic.👑👑👑👑
There are 2 type of tourists. Those who are earnest and there for the nature, who can keep their mouths shut and those, especially families with young ones, who treat the Safari like a picnic and can't stop talking or making inside jokes and remarks and are easily bored. A safari is no picnic. It needs patience because it takes hours and hours if riding in the back of a 4x4 and eating dust and insects.
I am sure that this driver had been with this group for some time and and knew how noisy they could be and was tired of seeing them treat the Safari like a day on the beach. That's why he started with last warning. I'm sure he had asked .any times before for them to be quiet.
ohhhhh myyy god that elephant is sooo hugge.
yeah faced that crowd
100% agree with you
But he gets paid for it
@@mcfanrobinhood So what? You're totally missing the point. They get paid for a job, a job telling dumb tourists to shut the hell up. It's not a picnic, you're literally in the wild and can die. The guide is essentially responsible for these idiots lives, so of course he's gonna freak out. Good on him.
could not be any truer. they definitely have no idea how dangerous the situation is and it wouldn't took less than a second for that to happen!
The elephant thought their vehicle had broken down and they needed a push. Very helpful being
The Guide makes me laugh so hard 😂😂
Wow! They just command respect. Such beautiful, powerful and majestic creatures🐘
Hot damn this is hilarious. Might as well be trying to quiet down a ground of 2nd graders. I wonder if they signed the liability form lol
The guide seems to be more angry at the tourists who cant shut it than the elephant that he ends up shouting lol
@@serenitysmith352 Those same people that are blaming the guide are the same mofo's who would be talking or constantly moving their body. People just don't realize how things can go from 0 to 100 real quick.
Those of you making comments about the guide, he knows exactly what he’s doing. The sounds made by the tourists agitate the elephant or stoke its curiosity making it linger on. His shouting actually makes the animal back away.
Jokes aside, i would crap my pants and me thinks one or two did.You can feel the fear in the experienced tour guides voice.🤣🤣
To everyone bombing the guide. He works with these animals daily. From the perspective of an animal controller it is better that commands etc should be coming from him. From an animals perspective there are sounds that scared people produce that may encourage the animals uneasiness and there are clear voices that command your respect. The guide was doing his job and he did it well enough under the given circumstances.
These tourists paid for the thrill and being hushed as a scary animal walks your way is part of it...
The guide was professional.... We were for 2 days with him on game drives.... We had unbelievable sightings... But just this incident may be freaked him out as well! But all was good.... We shared a beer in the end
Literally no one is making noise apart from him yet he's swearing and shouting at the guests. Guy is a complete asshole
@@videetshah It's amazing to hear from the person who was actually there. This must have been so exciting to experience. Will you agree with me that the guide is not necessarily a bad person as neither were the tourists in the vehicle, the moment was just overwhelming and people were just reacting under the given circumstances..

That was the most brutal elephant attack that I've seen. The guide "yelling" to be quiet was the most brutal part of the attack!!
Tourist that comes to our country are fucking stupid. They think its bloody zoo animals. Seen cars crushed and rolled
Sir... We just came for the game drive experience... And you have a beautiful country.... We freaked out and when this incident happened.... The reaction was spontaneous.... We didn't want any harm to the animal and wild life
Hahahhah
Then why didn't you kept your trap shut when told?
That is one massive elephant!! 🐘
"Be quiet please" says the bossy guy who is yelling constantly... 🙄😂
Elephant : Keep quiet guys!!! Your guide is in musth
If anything is going to set the elephant off it would be the drivers "BE QUIET PLEASE"
It might be sir! But definitely worth an experience
That elephant too close for comfort 😂😂😂😂

Yet he’s the one making all the noise LMAO🤣
Wow.
This attack was the most vicious attack I’d ever seen in my life.

@@macforme I mean from 2 seconds in, to 3:55 minutes, it was just unwatchable, this elephant would of been shot before the video so no one could be traumatised by this savage animal, I remember watching Nightmare on Elm Street, and it was like watching (George & Mildred), you might have to look that up, but back to the story, I’m glad that I can talk to you about the emotional impact that this indescribable video of this vicious attack on these cameramen 😭😭😭😱😱 you could see that this elephant was going to attack, his eyes turned green, well 1 did, the other eye 👁️ turned red.
Any I’m now waking up at night, sweating profusely, and I look out my bedroom window, and see the same elephant in my backyard. Dumping on my flower bed.
I’m sorry 😢 it’s been so stressful,

What attack?
The guide yelling ‘EVERYONE MUST BE VERY QUIET!’ 🤫
