@1000shockingmoments: On March 18, 2024, a dramatic encounter occurred in South Africa’s Pilanesberg National Park when a bull elephant lifted a safari truck filled with tourists. The incident was captured on video and widely shared on social media, highlighting the unpredictable nature of wildlife interactions. What Happened The safari group, operated by Mankwe Game Trackers, was observing wildlife from an animal hide when a large bull elephant approached. Despite efforts by the guide to deter the elephant—such as slapping the side of the vehicle and shouting—the elephant lifted the front of the 22-seat truck multiple times before dropping it back down. Tourists inside were visibly frightened, with some cowering between seats and others praying aloud. #elephant #safari #pilanesberg _______________ Credits: TT - Hendry Blom
