In a tragic event at Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park, two female tourists, including a British pensioner, were killed by a charging elephant. The police confirmed that the women were part of a guided safari group when the incident occurred. Witnesses reported that the elephant, a protective mother with a calf, charged at the group and despite attempts by the tour guides to scare it away by firing shots, it couldn’t be stopped. The women died at the scene while trying to navigate the danger. Local authorities emphasize that female elephants are highly protective, urging tourists to exercise extreme caution around wildlife. This heartbreaking incident follows a similar pattern, as last year, two American tourists also lost their lives in separate elephant attacks in Zambia. Such incidents serve as sobering reminders of the potential risks inherent in wildlife tourism.
