A safari is always a golden moment one can remember, but a family, as well as the driver of a safari jeep, would want to forget this moment of getting caught between two wild elephants.

In a video, it can be seen while on the safari at Chamarajnagar's Biligirirangan Hills forest range, two elephants one from the rear end and another from the front tried to attack the jeep. The driver who applied his conscience, switched gears and stepped on the accelerator and escaped the elephant chasing from behind.

And in the same way, he also scared the other elephant that was in front. As the elephant moved to the side, the driver zipped through to take the tourists to safety.

Following the incident, the tourists who recorded the bone-chilling incident also recorded driver Nagaraju's statement. The video is now going viral on social media platforms.
