        Elephants hurt to be captured using flashed cameras. Its so sad that tour guides do not give adequate information on animal characteristic.

        Zimbabwe’s safari guides are amongst the best safari guides in Africa. Not least because that they have to proceed a four-year certification process; this is one of the most difficult guide license procedures anywhere in Africa.

        Europeans must be fully briefed that wild animals are not pets, they are dangerous & can indeed kill. It's so unfortunate for someone to travel all the way to come & be killed by wild animals in foreign lands. Rest in peace our beloved tourist. Our heart goes out to his family.
