How tragic! The people were walking with a guard, not sure exactly what happened. I don't know, for me, I was more scared of elephants than anything else I saw--except for rhinos. We never got very close to the rhinos, on purpose, as they are apparently very mean. But the elephants really scared me. I never saw one when I wasn't in a jeep, but they scared me, as they are so huge! After a week or so in the bush, the big cats didn't really scare me that much in the jeep, but the elephants always scared me....
