"Tragic Elephant Encounter: US Tourist Killed on Zambian Safari"

An elderly US tourist was killed and four others injured when a bull elephant charged and toppled their safari vehicle in Zambia's Kafue national park. The safari operator Wilderness expressed condolences and stated that the elephant's charge was unexpected. The incident is under investigation by wildlife officials and local police. The victim, 79-year-old Gail Mattson, was described as "living life" on the game-watching holiday, and her family and friends mourned her adventurous spirit. Zambia's neighbor Zimbabwe has expressed concern over the growing conflict between humans and elephants due to a rising elephant population and the impact of the climate crisis.
