Two recent incidents in and around the Kruger National Park have renewed focus on guide safety, training and risk management within the safari sector.
The discussion follows a fatal shooting incident involving a Canadian tourist at a concession-operated bush braai site near Phabeni Gate on June 17 as well as a widely shared video showing tourists in an open safari vehicle during a close encounter with elephants.
According to SANParks, a 69-year-old Canadian guest was fatally wounded when a private guide allegedly accidentally discharged a firearm at a concession-operated picnic site.
