The lodge got the word out, and another vet kindly volunteered to fly 200 miles from the capital to help the elephant. Ben, an injured bull elephant - thought to be 30-years-old - gave staffers at the Bumi Hills Safari Lodge in Kariba, Zimbabwe the surprise of their lives when he appeared to ask for help. The vet and workers were able to clean and disinfect Ben’s wound and administer a tracking collar to monitor his recovery. From the start it was clear to manager Nick Milne that something wasn’t right, as the animal had a significant limp and appeared to be wounded. Unfortunately though, the in-house vet had left for the weekend so they were unable to tell the full extent of his injuries.
