Video shows giant hippo charge tourist boat in Botswana

A man captured the terrifying moment a giant hippo chased down a tourist boat in Botswana on his mobile phone.

Clive Jackson was one of the tourists travelling on the boat on the Chobe River when he spotted the animal's head rise above the water and started to film on his phone.

The footage goes on to show the hippo charge the boat, launching itself out of the water just metres away.

Luckily it narrowly misses the boat, which makes a speedy getaway.
