The bull elephant thrust its tusk through the driver?s door before scooping the car up and turning it over in Kruger National Park.
It injured British driver Chris Hare, but his fiancee Helen Jennings, escaped unscathed.
They had to wait inside the Hyundai Atos for the elephant to leave before Mr Hare sank down in shock by the roadside, holding his injury.
He was treated at the scene by a doctor and taken to hospital.
The 40-year-olds were celebrating their engagement at the world famous resort on Monday.
Speaking yesterday, Miss Jennings? mother, Barbara, from Durham, said: ?I spoke to Helen just after it happened.
?They thought they were going to die. I?m so relieved they are OK.?
?They just started their holiday and had arrived in Africa on Saturday? November 10.
?They have another ten days left but they were really shaken up. I just want to thank the people who came to their aid after it happened. They were looked after really well.?
The attacked occurred a few minutes after the beast rammed a white Chevrolet Aveo. It lifted the car off the ground and dropped it.
It then marched off into the bush, re-emerging around a bend to attack the? silver Hyundai.
Eyewitness Vasti Fourie, who filmed the attack, said: ?It happened so quickly. I?ve never seen anything like this and I?m sure they haven?t either.?
