The 4×4 full of people was driving through northern Sri Lanka when it encountered a herd of elephants from a distance.

Bumpy footage recorded from the car shows the elephants, which can be heard trumpeting, gathered together and walking in the opposite direction as the sun goes down.

One female tourist can be heard screaming while others laugh as it is clear the wild animals are backing off.
