My personal war story, Vets tour 2006. Suikerbosrand. Video of "cyclist hits eland" on youtube (or other way round). My cameo is at the end. Wife and I also ran the Skukuza half in August. Great experience..

Elephants are unpredictable and dangerous.

We cycled in Mokolodi Nature Reserve just outside Gabs where there were elephant that were trained and people used to ride them.We had an annual event called the Mokolodi Scorpion with hundreds of cyclists that rode the single track created by the elephant.

Then one day two of the elephant while being disciplined turned on the two mahuts and killed them.

Thant was the end of elephant in the park
