The amount of Elephants that are now in Kruger, I'm really surprised that there aren't more incidents, there really are some idiots that visit the parks.  I shouted at one group of Asians, in nice summer clothes and sling back shoes for getting out of their car and approaching a Giraffe for a photo. When I shouted at them to warn of the Buffalo's and Rhinos we'd seen just a few hundred metres away, they looked really shocked and ran back to their car, they seemed to have no idea of the place that they were in!We had one heard of Buffalo that held us up for half an hour as the crossed the road, many hundreds of them!A</blockquote>
