A 69-year-old Canadian tourist was fatally wounded during a bush braai at a concession-operated picnic site near Phabeni Gate in the Kruger National Park last night.
According to preliminary information, a private guide attached to the concession operator allegedly accidentally discharged a firearm, resulting in the guest’s death.
The victim was part of a group visiting the park for a bush braai hosted by a private concession operating under a valid permit.
