It shouldn't come as any surprise, especially to anyone who has done even a modest bit of travelling...tourists can be really stupid (also rude, but that's a post for another day).

Just in the last few weeks we've gotten stories about folks who've chipped off pieces of ancient sites for a souvenir, others who've attempted to carve their initials into the Roman Colliseum, and, of course, tourists who've shot nude photos of each other at hallowed shrines in Cambodia.

Now we have some video taken by some folks on safari in South Africa, showing stupidity in the extreme from a tourist being met with an equal amount of anger from a tour guide.

From Fox News:

YouTube user Nic During recently posted a short clip of a walking safari through the African bush.

 

A safari game ranger is seen explaining to the group that they need to keep quiet and stick together as you hear animal grunts and rustling noises in the bushes. "These are dangerous animals," he says.  "There is no fence between you and these animals."

 

But one errant tourist decides to blaze his own path—literally. He seen breaking away from the group, heading into the rustling bushes and later he continues to speak in a less-than-hushed tone. This guy might deserve a top spot on our list of the world's dumbest tourists.

 

The ranger starts getting really heated around the 1:00 minute mark in the video, and can soon be heard yelling “Shut up!” to the disobedient tourist. The guide is then seen storming off, shotgun in hand, presumably leaving the tourist group alone to fend for themselves.

 

The tour guide/ranger better be careful, that tourist could really give him a poor rating on Yelp.
