After one buffalo was shot, it retreated into a nearby thicket, only to charge at the group upon being located again. This resulted in Mr. Cox being fatally gored, while Francis sustained serious injuries. The buffalo was subsequently neutralized.

Emergency evacuation procedures were initiated, and the victims were transported to the Kidepo National Park airstrip for airlifting to Kampala. Unfortunately, Cox succumbed to his injuries, while Francis was successfully transported to Kampala for further medical attention.

The incident was reported to the police in Karenga, and investigations are ongoing. The deceased’s remains have been transferred to Mulago Hospital City Mortuary for post-mortem examination.
