A journey through the great African wilderness has gone off track (nearly literally) as multiple videos show an elephant attacking a safari truck.
The travellers came face-to-face with the fearsome mammoth on a trek through the African wilderness recently.
In one video posted to X (formerly Twitter) the grey elephant is stood stubborn in the middle of the road, with no intention of moving out of the truck’s intended path.
The big tusker advances on the truck and begins lifting it up and down, much to the dismay of the travellers.
Those in the vehicle scream and shout at the elephant but, unfortunately, it doesn’t quite understand what they’re saying or the social faux pas it has made.
The elephant lifts and drops the truck twice before slowly backing away, making room for the shocked safari goers to make their way.
Check out the two videos below!

Though surely traumatising, the whole ordeal has certainly made for an incredible travel story.
