I hope the girl is OK and recovers fully. The game park should be held responsible for allowing such a close encounter.

Stupid is just not enough to describe the tour guide and I am sorry but who thinks it is a good idea to turn your back on a wild animal, especially one with a very long horn and known for bad temper.

Seems like candidates for the Darwin Awards this year. I hope she recovers from the ordeal. I hope the game park people get what should be coming to them . . .
