Going on a safari affords you the chance to see amazing animals out in their natural habitat. It's thrilling, but there's also an underlying sense of nervousness. After all, these are wild animals and a great many of them can easily take a human out with the swat of a paw or a casual chomp.

These tourists on a safari ride through Kruger National Park in South Africa fully realized this when an elephant decided to chase after their vehicle for several miles. What started out as an awe-filled sighting quickly became more of a edgy slow-speed chase.

"He's coming! He's coming!" one of the tourists says. "Oh my god, please go!"

We'll try the same approach in the future when we want to kick out our own unwanted guests.
