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.

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.
No wispering, moving, murmuring from tourists, must stay still! No movement! A guide can shout loudly, only one voice ! To make animal to go away. Amarula old ellie boy(RIP) was wellknown by guides! And all the tourist MUST shup up and stay still if they been told so!
Tourists must stay quiet so as to not upset an ellie. Elephant do not think like humans. A male in musth is already on edge. The guide is not stupid. I once knew of a guide who could speak seven different languages, including French, Spanish and English. The rest were tribal or major African languages. Most guides are multilingual.
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
@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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
"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.
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.
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.
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"....
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.
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!!
@@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
Going to sum up the longer comment i read...this elephant is known for flipping cars as he saw his mother get poached as a baby with a similar car. The elephants get annoyed by the whispering and can trigger the attacks, its not the loud voice of the guide thst would annoy him, and the guide knows this. However the guide should have specified no whispering as i think the people thought they were being quier by whispering 😅
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
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.
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…
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....
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.
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.
This mature African Bull Elephant had it wanted to. Could have easily flipped this vehicle over. It was simply curious and rubbing his side against the vehicle. The fact the tour guide was speaking in a loud voice to be quiet. Yet i couldn't hear anyone else making any noise. This Majestic Bull was simply curious as he has seen plenty of vehicles. Wanting a good scratch he simply rubbed up against the vehicle as he walked past. I feel the Bull was thinking that the guide was being rather rude and loud. Lol. Beautiful to see such a Mature Bull Elephant so close. 💪🏻🙏🏻✨

@@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.
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..

The guy was just screaming keep quite but at the same time making the loudest noise, they were lucky the elephant was not the aggressive type, he just being curious
He’s yelling at certain times because he knows how to handle the elephant. These types of knucklehead tourists are the ones you see getting out of their cars at Kruger Park to photograph lions.
I think the guide is very bravely trying to attract the elephant away from the tourists . Of course he is worried. If the elephant turns over the truck they will be in trouble .The tourists are so stupid they think speaking quietly is not heard by the elephant .
Wow. This attack was the most vicious attack I’d ever seen in my life. I was so scared watching this eating my popcorn. I had to watch it over and over again. It was so violent, this video should of been named, ELEPHANT RUBS HIS BODY ON BUS TO GET RID OF AN ITCH. WTF….
Itchy pig; It was terrifying...bodies flying everywhere.... pure pandemonium. I'm surprised they let them post the video with all the violence in the attack. 😂👍🐘
@@macforme pure carnage 😂😂😂 I’m still having nightmares 1 year later, I’m having panic attacks I’m waking up screaming. This is worse than the Ukraine war and pandemic.
@@Souperflysi I can totally relate to your response to all the carnage in this video. They should have marked it no one under 18 should see it. Just try to breathe slowly and deeply until the anxiety passes.... and then go watch some kitten videos to help ease the trauma. Be strong my friend...we will through this. 🤣🙄
@@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,
The people still talking after the guide said to be quiet are the WORST. How hard is it to shut the F up for a couple minutes. In a dangerous situation you should be quiet and do what the person is charge is directing you to do. Imagine getting killed because someone couldn’t shut it.
The guide knows his job better than any of those tourists who clearly have no respect for his command to keep quiet or basic silence … ignorance is bliss in the eyes of stupid tourists who have no understanding of elephants and how they behave or react to groups of chatter on an open 4x4 . Any sudden movement by them could trigger off the elephant bull into a rage because he is already in Musk .. the guide had his patience pushed to the limit because of those bloody idiots on the vehicle . The guides shouting was the correct thing as that elephant would know his voice and understood he was doing something wrong . Frustrating for the guide to have a vehicle full of people who refuse to listen and follow his instructions .
This elephant was super relaxed. Elephants have very specific signals when they are agro, this one did not signal any of them. This video is really about what a ranger should not be like. A nervous bundle of cursing hysteria. If anything he was the one aggravating the situation.

Because his mother was killed (in front of him as a young baby calf) by hunters usung a similar tour guide vehicle!! 😭 And he néver forgot! 😭 Elephants are highly susceptible to get annoyed by the murmuring sounds of whispering; and the only way for a Guide to make an Elephant weary and move off, is to SHOUT (or make banging noises on the vehicle if the Elephant stampedes closer)!! Therefore the IGNORANT visitors (and I want to say IDIOTS here) where SHOUTED at when they continued the annoying whispering! Perhaps those spreading critique about the Guide, should come to South Africa for a 2 year's very intensive Guide Training Course, and then we can talk again...
Thank you for the information.
This should be the #1 comment.
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.
the guide probably yelled at the echo of his own voice that bounced off the distant mountains, confused why it would get louder each time he screamed.
No wispering, moving, murmuring from tourists, must stay still! No movement! A guide can shout loudly, only one voice ! To make animal to go away. Amarula old ellie boy(RIP) was wellknown by guides! And all the tourist MUST shup up and stay still if they been told so!
Sounded like the mountain goat from brother bear n shit “Shup up (Shut up)” “No u shut up (no you shut up up up)”
Tourists must stay quiet so as to not upset an ellie. Elephant do not think like humans. A male in musth is already on edge. The guide is not stupid. I once knew of a guide who could speak seven different languages, including French, Spanish and English. The rest were tribal or major African languages. Most guides are multilingual.
The Tour Guide is the main character of this whole video 😂😂😂
The guide needs to be Quiet!
@@kirk1007 😂😂😂😂
Yessss!! 🤣😭
The tour guide is creating the problem/is surely why the elephant is so interested
That man is talking to elephant 🤣🤣
"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

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.
Amarula is (was) majestic and seemed very itchy.
Rest in peace you beautiful creature.
Lol. Yes Rip Amarula. Beautiful elephant 🐘
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.
The only noise I hear is coming from him yelling 😂
Agree
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
He was professional for 2 days... We had great sightings with him on the game drive.... But may be this incident freaked him out as well
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.
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".
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..
As a former teacher, I can totally relate to the guide 😅
What a gentle giant! Sad to learn that he passed away.
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.
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!!!
RIP, Amarula. You were a gentle giant...
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 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.
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?
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.
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
"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 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.
That’s the gentlest attack I’ve ever seen
Looks like he was just scratching himself.
The guide shouting silence like the elephant was one of the creatures from the movie "A Quiet Place "😂
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.
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....
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 😂
Such beautiful and majestic animals! I love watching them.
Shouting "be quiet please" is surely an oxymoron...
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?

And clumsy.
@@eksteinmalan3517 the guide is a real nlgger comedy gold. .be quite be quite. Screaming and yelling non stop.
yelling, yelling and yelling helps very much to keep everything quiet 8-)
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...
Isn't it reassuring when a level-headed and sensible person is at the wheel? Oh, never mind.
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!!
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
Ya gotta love tour buses without windows or doors. I wonder if lions see them as snacks al fresco.
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.
The Elephant has made only a warning...what a wonderful animal
Yes....hell of a majestic beast!
“Can you be fkinggg quiet please “ 😂😂😂
Lmao
Going to sum up the longer comment i read...this elephant is known for flipping cars as he saw his mother get poached as a baby with a similar car. The elephants get annoyed by the whispering and can trigger the attacks, its not the loud voice of the guide thst would annoy him, and the guide knows this. However the guide should have specified no whispering as i think the people thought they were being quier by whispering 😅
Dude that’s not funny
Puullease...If this were an Elephant attack there wouldn't be anything nor anyone left .... Love the guy YELLING at everyone to be quiet. 🤣
"I'm going to shout louder and louder until you all be quiet".
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'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 elephant too close for comfort 😂😂😂😂
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
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 guide instigated the attack. So competent.
What attack?
This tour guide is THE frantic one here, screaming his little head off
A tour guide who yells at himself. Priceless!
Yes He Was The Very AGGRESSIVE ONE. 😡😡😡😡😡
Elephant humor, just to hear these puny humans yell and scream, while he uses their vehicle to scratch himself.
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.
The elephant has more intelligent
brain sense than some People in this world but beautiful animal.
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!
These adults suddenly became children who didn’t know how to be quiet and keep silence.
Wow! They just command respect. Such beautiful, powerful and majestic creatures🐘
This mature African Bull Elephant had it wanted to. Could have easily flipped this vehicle over. It was simply curious and rubbing his side against the vehicle. The fact the tour guide was speaking in a loud voice to be quiet. Yet i couldn't hear anyone else making any noise. This Majestic Bull was simply curious as he has seen plenty of vehicles. Wanting a good scratch he simply rubbed up against the vehicle as he walked past. I feel the Bull was thinking that the guide was being rather rude and loud. Lol. Beautiful to see such a Mature Bull Elephant so close. 💪🏻🙏🏻✨
Relax and stop wanking! It is only a clumsy elephant.
No wispering, moving, murmuring from tourists, must stay still! No movement! A guide can shout loudly, only one voice ! To make animal to go away. Amarula old ellie boy(RIP) was wellknown by guides! And all the tourist MUST shup up and stay still if they been told so!

"CAN YOU BE QUIET PLEASE!!!!!" "LOOK AT WHAT YOU DID" xD
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…”
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
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!
When your Safari becomes less fun than it was 10 minutes earlier.....
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.

Those tusk are So big, I guess he'd lift that minibus with the occupants like a toy.
He’s yelling at certain times because he knows how to handle the elephant. These types of knucklehead tourists are the ones you see getting out of their cars at Kruger Park to photograph lions.
I think the guide was shit scared😂😂
Yet he’s the one making all the noise LMAO🤣
This is the real King. Majestic.👑👑👑👑
Stunning... beautiful elephant, but I’d have needed my brown trousers on to witness that event!
I think the guide is very bravely trying to attract the elephant away from the tourists . Of course he is worried. If the elephant turns over the truck they will be in trouble .The tourists are so stupid they think speaking quietly is not heard by the elephant .
I believe you would have some reactions.... Many of the tourists were thinking of moving the vehicle away when given a chance!
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,
The people still talking after the guide said to be quiet are the WORST. How hard is it to shut the F up for a couple minutes. In a dangerous situation you should be quiet and do what the person is charge is directing you to do. Imagine getting killed because someone couldn’t shut it.
The guide knows his job better than any of those tourists who clearly have no respect for his command to keep quiet or basic silence … ignorance is bliss in the eyes of stupid tourists who have no understanding of elephants and how they behave or react to groups of chatter on an open 4x4 . Any sudden movement by them could trigger off the elephant bull into a rage because he is already in Musk .. the guide had his patience pushed to the limit because of those bloody idiots on the vehicle . The guides shouting was the correct thing as that elephant would know his voice and understood he was doing something wrong . Frustrating for the guide to have a vehicle full of people who refuse to listen and follow his instructions .
This elephant was super relaxed. Elephants have very specific signals when they are agro, this one did not signal any of them. This video is really about what a ranger should not be like. A nervous bundle of cursing hysteria. If anything he was the one aggravating the situation.
After telling them to be quiet 10 times I would have got out and left. You'd see how quiet they'll get.
Agree 100%. I think the guide was dam scared.
