Selati Game Reserve Elephant Attack

So if you are not aware, there has been a recent elephant attack in Selati Game Reserve where students training to become guides were put in danger when they came face to face with an elephant in musk. 

The company in charge is EcoTraining, and after looking over they seem to know a little about wildlife and they should know what to expect when coming in contact with a herd of elephants. 

My question to EcoTraining is why the Hell are you getting so close to an elephant that is clearly in musk with students, putting their lives in danger. 

And please do not say this is part of the training… 

Watch the two videos below…

EcoTraining were at fault!!!

In my opinion, EcoTraining is 100% at fault for letting this happen. After your many years of experience, you should know better. 

Maybe your leaders or drivers of the vehicles need to get checked again. No one should be put in that position and something needs to happen to prevent this from happening again. 

You are so lucky that no one was injured via this attack. That is all I can say. 

“An elephant bull, who was with the breeding herd, mock charged the vehicle and mock charged again when they moved forward slowly, the elephant made contact with the vehicle and pushed it off the road,” said EcoTraining MD Anton Lategan.

So my question to Ecotraining MD Anton Lategan… Why when an elephant mock charged the vehicle, did it continue to move forward towards the herd? Surely that is your warning sign. 

The two instructors who were with the group had 25 years experience in the field.

The above statement also confuses me and I am sure many readers and watchers of the two videos above… with 25 years experience, why did you put those trainees in danger as you did? Where was your experience?

I shall be keeping an eye on this and hoping to see a move involved statement where Ecotraining actually take some ownership of what happened.

Shoutout: Successful elephant rescue by BHAPU

BHAPU: Bumi Hills Anti Poaching Unit

A couple of days ago, a video was shared with me via Whatsapp about a baby elephant rescue along the banks of Lake Kariba.

A young elephant got its leg stuck in the mud and could not get it out and the mother was trying her best to help the young elephant but with little success.

BHAPU was alerted and came to see what they could do to assist with the situation… let me not spoil the story, watch the video below.

Bumi Hills Anti Poaching Unit

BHAPU is powered by the Bumi Hills Foundation and they do some amazing work to preserve wildlife in the Matusadona National Park.

Our mission is to safeguard wildlife and wilderness.

Our vision is to protect all remaining wildlife within the region and open the door for the return of the species lost.

Anti-Poaching: Land Patrol

Structured ground coverage in anti-poaching is integral to identify and regulate all classes of illegal activity. Commercial snaring, subsistence hunting and prohibited harvesting of timber, are all daily infractions.

Combined with the devastating decline of the region’s elephant population (approximately 75%) due to ivory poaching, proactive anti-poaching efforts are our primary mandate.

Traditional bush skills and the use of innovative technology together allow for a comprehensive approach to our land patrol goals.

Anti-Poaching: Lake Patrol

The largest man-made lake (by volume) in the world, Lake Kariba has great ecological significance and benefit to the region.

As traditional fishing methods are jeopardised through the use of illegal practices, fragile fish populations are becoming increasingly threatened.

Lake patrols enforce regulations while curbing international fish and wildlife smuggling schemes and wildlife poaching on many of the lakes characteristic islands.

Make a difference

The work that BHAPU are doing is wonderful but they are always looking for help and if you are in a position to help, I encourage you to spare a few dollars. 

They have a dedicated PayPal account for their foundation.
