Visiting a safari park is one of the lifetime experiences tourists get to have. It is a way of seeing wildlife which are not easy to find around, in their natural habitat. This experience can be risky especially when some of the animals turn out to be unfriendly towards humans.

It must have been a terrifying moment when a rhino attacked a family SUV in a safari park. The female rhino hit the SUV during the safari tour before it was distracted by the park wanderers.

It is still unclear why the rhino attacked the tourist vehicle but the safari park wanderers suspected the rhino was in its heat period.

Speaking with a news agency, one of the representatives of the safari park said the incident is not so common at the park and the rhino in question has been isolated from the other rhinos to avoid another attack.

“The rhino was separated and is staying in another part of the park while the fertile period of the female rhino ends,”  

“The necessary measures were taken immediately so that this does not happen again”

However, despite the damage done to the SUV, the tourist family were not injured. They described the incident as a good experience which they will not forget in a long time.
