Zambia elephant attack kills British and New Zealand tourists

Two female tourists, including one British retirement, told the BBC in Safari in Zambia and a charging elephant.

68 -year -old Easton Janet Taylor from England and 67 -year -old Alison Jean Taylor from New Zealand Local police chief Robertson Mweemba said he was attacked by a woman with a calf in South Luangwa National Park.

The two tourists were chewed by nursing elephants after the efforts of the tour guides’ efforts to stop by firing. Both women died at the scene, dedi he said.

The British Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that a British woman who died in Zambia and contacted local authorities supported her family.

Mr. Mweemba said that two women were part of a guided safari group walking in the park on Thursday, where the elephant wages at high speed.

The two tourists stayed for about 600 km (370 miles) from the capital Lumsaka, where the attack took place, four days in the largun camp.

“They were moving to other camps when the elephant was accused of behind. We are really sorry to lose our visitors.” He said.

“They both died in place,” he added.

Female elephants protect their calves very much and Zambia officials have previously called tourists to pay attention to the wild life around the country.

“It is very difficult to control animals and tourists like feeding them,” Mweemba said. He said.

Last year, two American tourists were killed in separate attacks by elephants in South African. When both cases were attacked, the safari included elderly tourists in the vehicle.
