Elephant kills British and New Zealand tourists in Zambia
Two female tourists, a British pensioner and a New Zealander, were tragically killed by a charging elephant while on safari in Zambia's South Luangwa National Park. Despite being shot and wounded, the elephant attacked and trampled the two women to death in the presence of a calf. This incident serves as a reminder for tourists to exercise caution and respect when observing wildlife, especially in areas like Zambia where animals can be unpredictable and protective, particularly when with their young.
