Tourists who were parked at Paul Kruger gate at the Kruger National Park were in for a not-so-pleasant surprise after they stepped out of their car to snap a few pics of a herd of elephants.
While the brave tourists ventured out, the rest of the group stayed near to their car (and they’re probably thanking their lucky stars for it).
In a video shared by Edward The Guide on Twitter, the once-enthusiastic tourists can be seen fleeing for their lives as a herd of elephants make their way towards the fearful duo. It almost ended in tears at Paul Kruger gate today!” the tweet said (and the comments are everything).

It was a close call for the pair, but they made it to safety! Meanwhile, social media had a few hilarious things to say, especially about the “hey hey hey” screams of fear and panic:
