The man was one of three suspected rhino poachers whom park rangers were chasing through Kruger National Park at the time, SANParks said in a news release.
"When they realized they had been spotted, the suspected poachers dropped an axe and a bag with their provisions in an attempt to escape from the rangers," SANParks said.
The rangers pursued the three suspects with dogs and air support. They eventually caught up with one who said his accomplice had run into a herd of breeding elephants, but he did not know what happened after that.
Rangers went to the spot where the man was last seen and found that he had been "badly trampled," SANParks said.
It's unclear how many elephants were involved, but a single adult African elephant can weigh up to 3.3 tonnes .... Officials also recovered a rifle.

Unpleasant? How so?
That’s my judgment.
Hey, don't talk about me behind my back. LOL. Nah, you can. I don't give a crap.
I have better things to do with my time.
Have a good day.
