A terrifying video captured the moment a bull elephant chased down and attacked a safari group, tipping over their vehicle.
An 80-year-old American tourist was killed by a bull elephant when the safari tour group she was part of was charged at by the animal. Another female guest was also injured in the incident that took place in the Kafue National Park, Zambia. The group of six guests and a guide had been on a safari from Lufupa Camp, when around 9.30am local time on Saturday 30 March, their vehicle was 'unexpectedly charged' by the animal.
The vehicle came to a stop and in the moments before the elephant knocked it over, the guide could be heard shouting 'hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!' People were heard screaming during the attack. The second guest who suffered an injury was rushed to a private medical facility, while the other four guests received treatment for minor injuries.
