Second American Tourist Killed by Elephant in Zambia This Year

64-year-old Juliana Gle Tourneau was trampled after being thrown from her vehicle near Maramba Cultural Bridge.

Juliana Gle Tourneau was the second American killed by an elephant in Zambia in 2024.
The incident occurred after the tourist vehicle stopped due to elephant-related traffic.
Earlier this year, another American tourist, Gail Mattson, was killed by an elephant in Kafue National Park.
Rising elephant attacks in southern Africa are linked to changing migratory patterns due to climate change.
Officials urge extreme caution for tourists observing wildlife in Zambia.
