A professional game hunter has been trampled to death by an elephant while leading a hunt with an American client in Zimbabwe.
Ian
Gibson, 55, was tracking animals in Chewore North in the lower Zambezi
Valley of Zimbabwe, when the young bull elephant “began a full charge.”
Paul Smith, the managing director of Chifuti Safaris which employed Gibson, told The Telegraph:
"We don't yet know the full details of how 'Gibbo' as we called him,
died, as the American client and the trackers are still too traumatised
to give us full details."
In a note
on the website of Safari Classics, the company explained Gibson had
been searching for a target for five hours when they stopped for a rest.
"It is with deep sadness to announce the passing of Chifuti Safaris professional hunter Ian Gibson," the note said.
