According to Kruger National Park's Youtube page, a group of tourist went on a game drive when a herd of elephants ran across the dirt road behind them. The video shows the herd stampeding to scare some lions away from the area.

One elephant became extremely aggressive and came back to the vehicle a few times. The group of tourists didn't realize at the time that they had parked the car in the middle of the pack.

"We were surrounded by angry elephants, it was truly terrifying, we had no idea what to do, the guide was telling us to be calm, I wasn't sure if I had to run and hide, which probably is the last thing you should do. And then you can see in the video eventually we start the car and slowly drive away," the video contributor wrote on the Youtube page.
