@kay_trends: A canoe tour in the Okavango Delta in Botswana ended in a big scare: a matriarch elephant ambushed the tourist boats and toppled the canoes, What happened? Guides got too close to a group of baby elephants. In that context, the female leader reacted defensively, interrupting the safari and leaving a woman underwater for a few seconds. Experts point out that elephants don't attack without reason: they react when they perceive threats, in defense of their young or in contexts of stress. In the dry season, in addition, the concentration of fauna around water increases encounters and risks. All tourists were unharmed and the animals walked away after the reaction. However, it's not an isolated case: in Zambia, months ago, two tourists died after being rammed on a walking safari, and in July another canoe in the Okavango was on the verge of capsized in a similar incident * The Okavango Delta, a World Heritage Site, is one of the most visited destinations in South Africa, where elephants, hippos and crocodiles mingle with thousands of visitors each year And you, what do you think of these types of tourist activities?
