Zambian guide shows how to take on a charging elephant. Wildlife guide Manny Mvula fends off the elephant in Zambia A Zambian wildlife guide who stood in front of an aggressive elephant and commanded it to get back has been widely praised by the British school pupils he protected. Footage of Manny Mvula taking on the elephant who was threatening to charge the group he was leading has recently been uploaded on to YouTube. My instinct was to run away but Mannys calming and authoritative presence reassured me - we figured he knew what he was doing, a pupil from a secondary school in England told the BBC. But for Mannys heroism we could have had a memorable encounter with this gigantic beast in more ways than one. However, Mr Mvula says that his defence of the students was all in the line of duty. I realised I had to do something to stop it because they were in imminent danger, he told the BBC. Remonstrating tone The unusual standoff happened at the Kasanka National Park in August when Mr Mvula and a group of 23 schoolboys aged between 16 and 17 spotted a group of female elephants with their young in the bush. https://youtube/watch?v=l61rvs9y26E
