At the Jaldapara National Park in West Bengal, a terrifying video captures the moment two rhinoceros charged at a safari van, sending its occupants fleeing for their life. The event happened when they were on a nature safari, and visitors can be seen taking pictures of rhinos in the footage.
One could see the rhinos coming at the vehicle. According to the footage, the driver hurriedly drove the jeep backward, which caused it to crash into the park’s ditch.
Akash Deep Badhawan posted the video on Twitter. He noted, “I think it’s about time guidelines for safety and rescue in adventure sports are implemented in wildlife safaris across the country. Safaris are becoming more of adventure sports now! Jaldapara today!”

Nature settles every things accordingly. What we give to the nature same we receives.

Ban cell phones in safaris , tourists and drivers get close to the animals so they can get a photo or a video on their cell phones !!

I think this is bad training. Bad training of drivers and guides that accompany. Safaris are not adventure sports. We will surely spoil entire naturalist work by this thought of adventure. Not right thought process.

Bad bad driver. Can’t even reverse properly. 😥

It's very tricky to match speed of reverse when Rhino is chasing you. It's difficult to blame anyone as the wild is supposed to be unpredictable. However the roads could be developed for safer driving.

When the people in a safari jeep are all standing up and the driver can't look behind directly through the middle or the middle rear view mirror, it's absolutely criminal to have the side rear view mirrors removed.
Safaris have to backtrack so many times, why drive blind?

I guess that's ok if it is risky to the people who are going for safari's
Fun/thrill/knowledge, We are going into forests, their place.
If someone feels too risky they should avoidFirst we need to find a solution for stray dogs in cities.. Have to do this without hurting any
