The incident took place in the Ol Jogi Wildlife Conservancy, north of the capital Nairobi. The video soon went viral, after he had shared it unsuspectingly on his Instagram channel. It shows how he took a sip of the local beer Tusker and then the rest in the trunk of the elephant gutter.

The action led to furious reactions from Kenyans. A few called on the man Linea Recta to expand the country. The incident is now being investigated by the Kenyan authorities. The images were taken offline.

Around 500 elephants are staying in the reserve, where the animals are cared for and are prepared for a return to the wilderness. Earlier this month, a group of tourists already caused a fuss in the country, after they tried to hinder the annual migration of Gnoes in the country.
