Overview

• Andreas Hoberg, a German tourist, was reported missing at Zimbabwe's Matusadona National Park where he was last seen stopping at a park shop to purchase a drink before embarking on a game drive.
• Hoberg's car rental company could not trace his location using the onboard GPS, causing concern as the Matusadona National Park is a predator-filled zone known for poor phone signal, making it almost impossible to reach him.
• A search operation was initiated on Monday involving a rescue team, other tourists, a helicopter, several vehicles, and sniffer dogs to locate Hoberg.
• On Tuesday, three days after his disappearance, Hoberg was found 'alive and well', reportedly stating that his car had suffered a mechanical fault.
• Matusadona National Park, where Hoberg was based, is home to four of the 'big five' animals that tourists often seek to spot on safaris -- elephants, lions, buffalo, and leopards -- and visitors are warned to be careful.
