Kruger National Park: Elephant breaks into rest camp Garrin Lambley, SA People News April 4, 2024 An elephant bull broke into the day visitors site at Letaba Rest Camp on Wednesday night, and from there into the rest camp itself. According to a social media alert on the South African National Parks Facebook page, a couple of hyenas also gained access to the camp through the damaged fence and raided dustbins in the camp. Fortunately, the elephant nor hyenas didn’t harm any of the guests in the camp. Guests alerted the duty manager who phoned the ranger on duty and the animals were chased out. The technical team is currently busy with repairs of the fence. Meanwhile, as reported in February, a restaurant employee was bitten on the arm by a hyena while sleeping in the Berg-en-Dal staff living quarters. The hyena was euthanised following the attack. The employee was taken to a hospital in Tshwane. It was confirmed that a specialist had diagnosed the unnamed employee with fractures in her hand that extended to the articular surface and an oblique fracture near her elbow. She underwent an operation to repair the fractures and was reported to be “doing well and is very thankful for the good medical care she is receiving”. https://www.sapeople.com/animals/kruger-national-park-elephant-breaks-into-rest-camp/
