Back up!

While driving along a road in Kruger National Park, we saw this herd of elephants, some whom were wanting to cross the road. This little car was a bit too close for this elephant. The elephant was bearing down on the car which didn't move for what seemed quite some time. When it did start backing up, the elephant stopped thank goodness. You can see the sweat glands on the elephant's face which means it is stressed. There were young elephants in the herd.

 

Quite an exciting encounter. We had a similar encounter later in the day but we backed up straight away!
