I haven't read all the other replies, but yes.
I live in South Africa and have some up close encounters....
(In no particular order)
I've been charged by an elephant
A Kudu walked into our caravan and helped itself to the packet of biscuits that were open.
A bunch of baboons got into the awning tent of same caravan and opened all our dc Christmas presents. It was on Christmas eve and I had hidden them, under the table with the cloth hanging over. As I walked back from the ablutions I recognised the wrapping paper that was strewn all the road. They took a doll, and anything that was edible. They were real buggers, you couldn't leave your tea, coffee or sugar out at all. They even sat above us on a branch outside the restaurant, and quick as lightning they jump down and steal the packet of sugar as you are opening it to pour it in the cup!
I had a baby mole snake in my pool not so long ago. I just took it out with the net and let it loose into an open area behind my house. No idea where mum was, but those snakes bite, they have 4 rows of teeth so I didnt really want her too close to me.
My dad stood on a puff adder, it was all curled up in the pool filter housing. It went for him, luckily there was a spade right there so he had to do it, survival of the fittest - they are pretty dangerous bites.
I woke up and there was a sac spider sitting next to my on the bed, just looking at me. They also leave a nasty bite which infects and eats away at the flesh and causes a huge open wound.
As kids our neighbour had goats, so we would jump into their yard and they would charge us. So we were pretty quick getting back over our wall, but one time they took down a panel in the charge. To this day my mother doesn't know the full story.
Opposite out house while I was growing up, was an open piece of land. The bush pigs would venture towards the houses every now and then. You knew they were about as you would just hear a mum or dad shout BUSH PIG, and all us kids would scarper. 
. They really hurt when they come up behind you without being given a heads up by a mum or dad.
Took the dc for a game trip, the vehicle in front of us what the same type that brings the food for the lions at feeding time. So the whole pride walked past our car (they are bloody huge) on a mission towards the white pick up in front of us. The male jumped into the back and sniffed around, then jumped back out again. Then proceeded to bite a huge chunk out of the back tyre. We reckon he was just pissed as finding no food in the back of the food wagon so tried the next best thing. Lets just say I have never seen a tyre get changed so fast in my life.
I go to a customer every week that is a little bit out of town. Its a nice route going there, and one of the pieces of land on the way, they have a resident giraffe. He is quite friendly, and nosey as he stands by the side of the road and watches the builders doing some work across the road. I named him Geoffrey, sometimes I stop to say hello to him. He snotted on me once.
I have been snotted on by a few elephants as well. That is bloody gross. They do roam free in some parks where they have chalets and restaurants. So do the hippo and all the buck, so i have been up close with buck quite a lot. They aren't as skittish as they make themselves out to be. Oh and wildbeest (buffalo).
I am sure there are more, these are just off the top of my head.
