Recently two tourists found themselves staring down an elephant bull in musth, while on a self-drive safari in the Kruger National Park. The elephant, deemed unusually aggressive by authorities, has been shot and kill after it charged their car, injuring one of the occupants. A video detailing the incident, taken by a tourist  who was in the car behind them, shows these tourists took unnecessary risk and behaved irresponsibly.
Here's what you should and should not do while on a self-drive safari - as well as the warning signs - and what to do should you find yourself in a similar, dangerous situation.
