That elephant can flip the Land Rover upside down in an instant. It's really the only scary thing that you will encounter. My only similar experience was also in South Africa, the bull came out of the bushes, wasn't pleased to see us at all, started to shake his head and the ranger was like "F#$@ this, we are out of here" jammed it into reverse and we left promptly in the backwards direction. The guns they carry are called Elephant stoppers for a reason, but the last thing the ranger wants is an upside down land rover, and a recently shot dead, bleeding elephant... not sure what would get you first the Hyenas or the Lions.

You have brought back great memories of the only time i saw a ranger remotely "worried".
