For one safari tour guide with a small boat full of tourists, it required several warning trumpets from an elephant wading through shallow water and a bluff charge before they finally moved on. A video of the frightening elephant charge (and massive \u201csafari fail\u201d) has a lot of people online shaking their heads.<\/p>\n<p>[RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/outdoors.com\/watch-gopro-captures-mans-terrifying-run-in-with-elephant\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">WATCH: GoPro Captures Man\u2019s Terrifying Run-in With Elephant<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tourismnewsafrica\/?g=5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Tourism News Africa<\/a> shared the footage but doesn\u2019t call out the tour company. In the video, a massive elephant trumpets, clearly annoyed. The tour guide says, \u201cwhen she comes close, we\u2019re going to zoom forward.\u201d Except, they don\u2019t. They let the elephant get closer and closer as it continues to trumpet out warnings. Then, it bluff charges and rams the boat. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cReally bad guiding,\u201d wrote one person. \u201cHe put those people at serious risk. No way a proper guide would ever have let this situation happen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnimals will only resort to violence when their warnings are ignored and they think you\u2019re a threat,\u201d wrote another.<\/p>\n<p>See the safari fail, starring an annoyed elephant, here:<\/p>\n<p>Heading stock image by Gerald Hinde\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Is it just me, or is one single warning trumpet enough to move on when in the presence&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":54870,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[51],"tags":[10557,41628,79,201,41629],"class_list":{"0":"post-54869","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wildlife","8":"tag-elephants","9":"tag-safari","10":"tag-science","11":"tag-wildlife","12":"tag-wildlife-video"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54869","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54869"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54869\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54870"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54869"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54869"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54869"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
