In October, An elderly tourist was trampled to death by an elephant in ‘full view’ of his son in Zimbabwe.
They were only 40 metres away from their car but Mr Walsh couldn’t outrun the huge animal.
Mr Walsh, a vet from Cape Town, South Africa, was a ‘loyal tourist’ who had been visiting Mana Pools ‘almost every year’ for the past 35 years.
He died just days after an anti-poaching co-ordinator was trampled to death by an elephant in Victoria Falls in western Zimbabwe.
More than 40 people have died from such conflicts in parks and other rural areas in Zimbabwe last year, said Mr Farawo.
