So you pay for your safari, then you go on safari but whilst on safari the strangest thing happens to you. A giraffe starts chasing your open top jeep. I don’t know about you but the last animal I would have been scared off before going on safari would have been a giraffe. A lion definitely, a leopard, a buffalo, a rhino maybe even a hippo… but a giraffe?? Never!!
Upon further investigation, it turns out that giraffes can actually be very dangerous especially when they are hormonal like the one in the video below. It chased this jeep for over 5 km, I have no idea what the plan was since it is a herbivore. But hey with the way the climate is changing these days you never know what this giraffe could be able to do to you. So yes, the best thing to do would be to ruuuuuun for dear life or as in this video drive until you start to run out of road. This happened in South Africa btw.
At which point you can start banging on the side or the jeep and making ridiculous amounts of noise hoping that this will scare away your stalker. As Anthony the weatherman at a local news station said in response to this video ‘Hey you get what you pay for!’. I think he is dead on, who wants to hear a story about being chased up a tree by a lion or cheetah. Been there done that got the t-shirt. Try something new and funky like a 15 foot tall super long stride taking hormonal giraffe. Now THAT is a safari story!
