Two tourists filmed this terrifyingly close encounter with a wild elephant in Botswana.
The Spanish women were relaxing in their campsite in Savuti Game Reserve on August 4 when the fully-grown elephant wandered towards them.
Incredibly, the tourists controlled their instinct to run and let the African walk right up to them.
The elephant got so close to the brave tourists that they could have easily reached out to touch it.
After a minute or so, the gentle giant walked off.
"My heart is beating so fast," said the filmer, with a huge sigh of relief.
