Safari guide loses it over stupid German tourist, leaves tourist group behind

Video in link
quote:
A safari guide leading a walking safari in South Africa started out patiently instructing and warning an uncooperative German tourist who just didn’t seem to understand the dangers involved with being in the bush.
But after at least four admonishments, the safari guide finally lost his cool with the German tourist, chewed the man out, and stomped off in a huff.
The safari guide warned the group to keep their voices down and stick together, but the German tourist interrupted with a loud voice. Again, the guide instructed to keep voices down, and even other tourists shushed the man.
But the German tourist ignored them all and wandered toward the bush where a dangerous animal was believed to be. At one point you hear a guttural growl of what sounds like a lion.
“I’m being very serious,” the safari guide said. “There is no fence between you and the animals, OK? You guys stick together, even if something charges out of the bushes at any moment.”
The video cuts out and then resumes with an irate guide yelling in English and Afrikaans, “There is a huge animal in the [expletive] bush! …Shut up…Keep quiet… Stay there.”
Finally, the guide said, “They are going to bring a Jeep for you. Stay here.”
The scary part is that the safari guide stomped off, leaving the tourists to fend for themselves. Or, as During said on his video post, “My aunt on a walking safari, left to the lions.”

was the German guy's name Daxter?

Good for him. Anyone who's ever guided people with more money than sense understand his frustration.

Is this a subtle way to tell us this story has been posted on here before?

I find it surprising that a German did this. Germans are known to be well-behaved, stoic rule-followers.

That guide didn't sign up to become lion shite because of one dumbass tourist.
To the tourist, he sent an important message. The rest of the group learned that they better police their own.

At the Grand Canyon one time, I saw a German tourist in bermuda shorts, black socks, and sandals, climb over the guard rail and stand on the edge looking down, all the while singing "Home, Home on Ze Range."

I've seen germans kicked off tours before. Some of the worst tourists.

My GF's ex is a German. He's completely fricked in the head. She blames it on his being raised by parents who survived WWII.

I find them to be problematic if they're in a group around other people. They don't like to be told what to do if they get out of line. They do better on self guided stuff, they don't do as well with someone who seems to know more than they do about a particular subject.

Guide is not in the wrong and not in the right.

German tourists in Greece, Turkey and Costa Rica were unbearable.

Something like 40 people per year die at the Grand Canyon because they simply fall off while posing for photos and stuff like that. People are DUMB.

They have a very fascinating book that they sell at the GC(but you can buy online) that talks about all the various types of deaths there over the years.

Bad week for Germans responsible for the lives of others.

My point remains.
eta: Maybe 40 fall but 12 die? I remember 40. A ranger told me that. He said it takes days to reach the victims and they'll either be dead or they won't. Or something like that.
