Imire Game Park Tour guide ‘Tafadzwa Gosho ‘, Crushed To death By A Rhinoceros

A GAME PARK director says a rhino crushed a tour guide to death at a private nature reserve.

Kate Travers, director of the Imire Game Park, said on Wednesday that Tafadzwa Gosho died on Monday night after he was crushed by a rhino he was tending to.

Travers said Gosho was “an experienced rhino handler” and that such attacks were rare. The Imire Game Park is 40 kilometers (24.86 miles) from Harare.

On its website, the Imire Game Park is described as “an intensive black rhino breeding station,” which has successfully released 11 rhinos into the wild.

In August, an experienced guide was mauled to death by a lion, while leading a walking tour through Zimbabwe’s Hwange National Park.

Last month’s incident occurred in the same area where an American dentist Walter Palmer killed a collared lion named Cecil.

The killing of lion Cecil sparked an international outcry and led to calls for Palmer to be extradited for trial in Zimbabwe. source-newzimbabwe
