10 times tourists were killed by wild animals

6. Elephant Tramples British Tourist

Patrick Smith and his wife, Julie, were walking on a natural train in the Masai Mara game reserve in 2006 when the small group of elephants they were observing got startled. A lone elephant charged the couple, trampling Patrick. The British tourist and his wife were on their honeymoon in Kenya.

While it’s uncommon for elephants to kill humans in wildlife reserves, it does happen, especially when humans get too close and encroach on elephant territory. In Patrick Smith’s case, however, all the rules and necessary safety precautions were followed, according to Kenya Wildlife spokesman Connie Maina. His death was a freak accident.
