A truck transporting four elephants from the Addo Elephant National Park to the Samara Karoo Reserve overturned on Wednesday afternoon, causing a major traffic jam along a key Eastern Cape route.
The majestic creatures, part of a donation from Addo to Samara, were being carefully monitored on site by a SanParks vet.
“Thankfully, none of the elephants appear injured, and there were no other casualties,” SANParks spokesperson Fayroush Ludick said.
