    Hi, my name is Ráchelle. 👋🏻
    I'm an adventure-loving travel enthusiast with a huge love for off-the-beaten-track adventures. My passion for video and storytelling is what led me to create my TH-cam channel (Tales of Odyssey) and explore the world. Although I also have some regular travel videos, my heart lies with adventure, outdoors, conservation, and travel that most people are not aware of yet. But of course, I also visit some epic places that you have heard of, and here I love to show you around with my own little twist!
    Through my content, I hope to connect you with adventures and purposes around the world to tickle your own curiosity beyond the mainstream!

    The tendency of elephants to be aggressive and ferocious in open vehicles felt incredibly thrilling and adventurous. And this beautiful landscape of this wetland was worth seeing.

    I'm sri Lankan. When I was a kid my family and I went for a safari in Udawalawa and one elephant charged at as just like this. But more aggressive than this. He ran behind our jeep for a considerable distance. That elephant was called "Thaniya" means loner and they're know as the most aggressive ones in national parks. Thanks for visiting SL. Hope you enjoyed

    Elephants in Udawalawa Park are kind of unpredictable if they are in a group. Many safari crews have got attacked in the past. But it's all a part of the fun and excitement. You must always get hold of an experienced driver. They can make a major difference in your tour. Nice vlogging 👍

I have been on safari in Kenya but the scariest shit that happened was some monkies jumped in our truck and stole our food lol. If an elephant charged at me like that , im not sure I coulda gone and sat near any others that day lol. Your a brave lady. Thank you for another great vid and hope your enjoying your time there 💙🤗😊

    Though elephants charge towards the vehicle they hardly attack. But definitely we human get scared. Sometimes they chase behind moving jeeps .the moment jeep stops elephants do stop .its unbelievable to see how they can stop the chase with speeed so quickly .
    Udawalawe national park has 600 plus wild elephants.
    There are many things to explore in this small island paradise. 26 national parks, 126 water falls. Botanical gardens, ancient temples and ruins more than 2000 years old. Sinharaja tropical rain forest, Horton plains. Beautiful sceneries with mountains, blue Wales and dolphin s many more
    Have a safe and wonderful stay.

    Have had some close calls right but they all were welcoming calls from the elephants and I guess that they got animated and elated after seeing you, especially an amiable foreigner like you after a very long time.... 🐘😘❤️
    I have been to this place couple of times and I did enjoy it very much and so have been the place called "Elephant transition home" situated close to the parks proximity ..
    By the way, it is always better be safe than sorry with these pachyderm as they are unpredictable at times and could attack you at the drop of a hat...
    Glad you gotta away from them swiftly and immediately without facing any troubles or mishaps.. 🙏🙏❤️😘
    Kudos to your bravery and thanks for the lovely pachyderm tour... Dear..
    Have a safe stay n god bless ya dear..

      But yeah I mean overall they were very calm and doing their things, the ones that charged thankfully didn't actually attack. I think if they had actually gone for the vehicle we would be in big trouble. So they are smart, just gave us a scare!
