The incident, reminiscent of a scene from Jurassic Park, shows passengers in the jeep in terror as a the long-limbed beast gallops behind them.
“After about 5km of being chased I started recording the chase on my phone,” explained Henk Roos, who filmed and uploaded the terrifying encounter.
“You can see how he gets closer and closer after every turn. We started to run out of road and the ranger banged on the side of the jeep to scare him off. We started to make a noise and he stopped.”
After a long chase the giraffe lost interest in the pursuit and gave up.
