Elephant kills two tourists on safari
Two elderly tourists, one British and one New Zealander, have died after being attacked by an elephant during a walking safari in Zambia.
The victims were identified as 68-year-old Easton Janet Taylor from the UK and 67-year-old Alison Jean Taylor from New Zealand.
The incident occurred in South Luangwa National Park when a female elephant, accompanied by its calf, charged the women.
Safari guides attempted to deter the animal by firing shots, wounding the elephant, but were unable to prevent the fatal attack, with both women dying at the scene.
This tragedy follows two separate incidents last year in Zambia where elderly American women were also killed by elephants while on safari.
