Elephant attack kills 2 elderly female tourists in Zambian national park

Safari guides tried to intervene but were unsuccessful. This incident highlights the risks of encountering wildlife in their natural habitat.
Two elderly female tourists from the U.K. and New Zealand were killed by an elephant during a walking safari in a national park in Zambia. The victims, 68-year-old Easton Janet Taylor from the U.K. and 67-year-old Alison Jean Taylor from New Zealand, were attacked by a female elephant accompanied by a calf. Safari guides tried to stop the elephant by firing shots, but the women succumbed to the attack on the spot.
The incident occurred at the South Luangwa National Park in eastern Zambia, approximately 600 kilometers from Lusaka, the capital. Female elephants can be aggressive when they perceive a threat, especially when protecting their calves.
Last year, two American tourists also lost their lives in elephant encounters in Zambia. Both incidents involved elderly women on safari vehicles.
