In a telephone interview, Namtumbo District Commissioner, Chande Nalicho confirmed the incident, saying the incident occurred on Tuesday at around 10am local time.
He said: "Before the incident, the man who was identified as Yassin Kalimoni was on his farm.
"He saw elephant herd coming in his direction and he tried to chase them but the jumbos became furious and attacked him to death."
According to the DC, the wildlife officials were in the area, so that they chase them to the game reserve.
Nalicho cited increasing poaching incidents were the reasons for the jumbos to run away from protected areas to residential areas.
