Wildlife is unpredictable, but tourists love embarking on thrilling safari adventures across different parts of the world. Those who are lucky encounter majestic creatures in jungles and safaris. However, a few experiences can be opposite to what tourists imagine them to be. In a recent incident in South Africa’s Manyoni Private Game Reserve, a group of tourists experienced something they won’t forget. They came across a giant hippo who didn’t seem in a good mood. The animal looked furious to see the tourists and chased the vehicle. At one point, the hippo caught up with the vehicle, opened its mouth, and almost bit the tracker seat.
