Dramatic video from the Newsflare archive to mark World Rhino Day, which is celebrated on September 22.

In the December 2016 video, a crash of rhinoceroses charge a group of tourists and rangers in Kruger National Park, South Africa.

The footage, shot last week, captures the moment the rhinos run towards the tourists, who hide behind a bush to hide as advised by the rangers.

"The rhino encounter happened in Kruger Park. We were on a walking Safari when we came across around seven White Rhinos," the filmer wrote online.

"The ranger didn't expect them to charge us but explained if they did, to stand behind a bush and they will run straight past."

"A few minutes later one of the rhinos charged towards us, followed by the rest of them, I could feel the ground moving, like an earthquake. We jumped into a bush and they thundered past about four feet (away) from us. It was all over so quick, but what an experience! It was both exhilarating and scary and we felt so privileged to have witnessed it," he added.

"As you can see in the video we were charged by rhinos but we felt safe following the rangers instructions: 'GET IN THE BUSH ! GET IN THE BUSH!!!' They ran straight by. What an experience!"
