"Sadly, today the Ministry received a report that a tourist was killed by an elephant. The Ministry has since confirmed that a 59 year old Australian National was killed in the Huab river, Kunene region where a group of tourists were camping, this morning.

This is a very unfortunate incident and highly regrettable. It has thus far been established that the area in which the group of tourist were camping is not a designated camping site.

Police/MET investigation in the matter continues. Among other things we also want to establish if the tourists were guided by a tour guide.

The Ministry wishes to reiterate our call to our very welcome tourists to always be cautious and observe rules and regulations put in place for their safety.

Finally, we wish to express our sincere condolences to the bereaved family and friends of the deceased."

Viele Grüße
Christian

Mein Beileid den Angehörigen!
Der Oberbrüller sind aber die Verhaltensregeln welche die SN gleich mitliefert. Was mach ich den nun mit all dem Elefantenfutter welches ich mir für die nächste Reise angehäuft habe!?

...retito,

Total unpassend!!
