A man returning from a morning safari in South Africa captured the remarkable moment a male elephant walked on his camp's roof.

Video shows the huge elephant happily taking in the view of Kruger National Park, while safari-goers down below are none the wiser.

Writes the filmer: "During our stay at a remote wilderness camp in the Kruger National Park, we were treated to the most bizarre sight we have ever seen. We just returned from our morning safari and were on our way to enjoy breakfast. While walking to the restaurant area we suddenly noticed a very unusual sight. On the other side of the building was a big male elephant walking on the roof. We could not believe our eyes and decided to record the moment!

"The elephant looked really comfortable with being on the roof. Down below everything carried on as normal with many people underneath not even realizing that there was an elephant right on top of them.

"The elephant briefly realized that he could not go any further and he quickly disappeared from the roof again. We were absolutely stunned by what we witnessed."
