Tim Driman, was a passenger at the time of the attack and took the time to give us the full picture of what actually transpired on that day.
Tim continues:
“I was one of the passengers on the vehicle, together with my wife and our mentor guide who has >20 years Guiding/Guide Training to his credit, and is a specialist in dangerous game.
The video clip is heavily edited and only shows part of the total encounter. The female which actually hit us was about the same size as the matriarch and all aggressors had little calves and were lactating heavily.

“One tusk” charged as and aborted at about 15 mtrs from the vehicle.
We were actually there to walk and rack up more hours and face to face encounters on foot to qualify for our FGASA Trails Guide qualifications, as my wife and I are also FGASA Level 1 Field Guides. Unfortunately I had injured my Achilles tendon and we were driving at the time.
We too have >20 years experience in the bush and I am a part owner of a “Big Seven” reserve in KwaZulu Natal, so we were all knowledgeable about elephants.
We started viewing the herd at a distance of 100 metres. We left them their natural path which they were following and a very good “escape route” which ran a good 25 metres in front of us. We also took the added precaution of parking off behind a natural trench of 750mm deep x 2.0mtrs wide. The engine was turned off as we interpreted that to be an aggressive action, so we chose to view these animals quietly.

She returned to the herd but her tail at that angle tells you how angry she was…. *Tails are attached via the spine/nerve directly to the brain…. Tails are key!
All the books, training and theories are merely a guide, and one should only act in the moment, which is what we did and we chose to adopt a non-aggressive approach to this sighting.
The female with one tusk charged and stopped 12 metres from the vehicle, displaying all the “warning charge” characteristics which we accepted, and chose not to move, as it would only have antagonized her. She then returned to the herd which now also appeared anxious, so we again chose to sit quietly and allow them to calm down. The matriarch led a second charge which also stopped at the 12 metre point and stood kicking up dust and trumpeting, and the rest of the herd had joined them (> 20 elephants
