This elephant bull held us up (1990), because it came down the gravel round and stood on the low-water bridge flapping its ears for a while. You never turnoff your engine (Or I never do) with these fellas, especially when you find a Cow with a baby, when they charge, reverse (R) becomes Racing backward. Luckily they just storm a Few meters and stop, if they do, it is rare. One year we watched employee go head-to-head with an elephant. I used my Racing gear well ..hehehe...anyway, he stopped asked us if we minded that he goes through, we said no, and he drove on...only to go head to head with a female non-to-pleased with his attempt..she charged, he went from going forward to reverse in split seconds, when she stopped he stopped, than he revved the car and charged himself, she turned and charged again, he was coming in reverse again, it went on like that, untill she moved off and he got pass....me I (R)aced backward, everytime, and I am still laughed at, because by the time this was over we nearly needed binoculars to see what was happening....I DO NOT take chances with elephants...hehehe.
