Craig Manders, whose wife Lisa was killed by a hippopotamus during a safari in Zambia, has filed a lawsuit against the tour operator, African Portfolio, alleging negligence. Manders claims the company failed to adequately warn him and his wife about the dangers posed by hippos and did not take sufficient safety precautions during the bush walk. The lawsuit states that the guides left the couple and others in their group unprotected near a hippopotamus, ultimately leading to Lisa Manders' death.
whose wife was killed by a hippo during an African safari has filed a lawsuit alleging that their tour operator was negligent in failing to keep her safe.
Rod Gould, a lawyer for African Portfolio, described the incident as a terrible but"really unusual" tragedy. He said the company arranges tours and works with the most reputable safari lodges in Africa, but is not responsible for what goes on during the trips. Despite their size – adult males typically weigh over 3,000 pounds – hippos can run fast over short distances, reaching speeds upwards of 20 mph.
But the guides, including at least one armed with a rifle, left the area, the suit says, leaving the Manders and others in their group to observe the hippo without any protection. Lisa Manders suffered “catastrophic injuries” and died shortly after, according to the lawsuit, which noted that her husband witnessed the attack.
