Pissed off elephant gives annoying tourists the branch

Wildlife safaris can be informative, fun and exciting. At the same time, however, it can go horribly wrong in the blink of an eye.
 

These tourists were on a jeep ride in South Africa when they encountered an elephant.
 

The guide noisily lures the elephant for an up-and-close encounter for the tourists. 
 

Understandably, the elephant is none too pleased by this, and even makes an attempt to charge at them.  Non-plussed, the guide continues.
 

Watch what happens next:

Do you really blame the elephant? This was a close call for these tourists.
