A camper got a ‘huge fright’ when he came face-to-face with a massive elephant while leaving a toilet block.<br /><br />Alistair Lyne was filming one of the huge animals searching for water during the dry season at Elephant Sands Lodge, Botswana.<br /><br />Hilarious footage captured the moment a fellow tourist came out of the bathroom and straight into the path of the elephant.<br /><br />Stunned by the massive creature blocking his exit, the man’s jaw literally dropped before he turned straight back into the toilet.<br /><br />Alistair said: “A visitor got a huge fright when they come face-to-face with a wild African elephant bull drinking grey water from a drain that has been broken into by other elephants.<br /><br />“During the dry season elephants are many and water is scarce. So the wild elephants break infrastructure to get access to water any way they can. They are that thirsty.<br /><br />“The elephants are tolerant of the humans and have chosen to coexist.<br /><br />“This is likely because Elephant Sands Lodge has been supplementing the natural water supply to help the elephants and other wildlife get water since the year 2000.”
