Man Sues U.S. Safari Company After Incident That Led to His Wife’s Death
A New Jersey man is taking legal action against a U.S.-based safari tour company after his wife was tragically killed in a brutal hippopotamus attack during a guided trip in Zambia last year. Craig and Lisa Manders were on a walking safari in June 2023 when a hippo suddenly charged out of the water, clamping Lisa in its powerful jaws and fatally crushing her head and body. 
Now, Craig Manders has filed a lawsuit against *African Portfolio*, a Connecticut-based tour operator, accusing the company of failing to ensure their safety and neglecting to properly screen and supervise the tour guides. The lawsuit argues that the company did not take adequate precautions to protect guests from wildlife dangers, particularly in an area where hippo attacks are not uncommon.
Hippos, despite their seemingly docile appearance, are among Africa’s most dangerous animals, responsible for more human fatalities than lions or crocodiles. *African Portfolio* has denied the allegations, insisting that its safaris adhere to safety protocols. However, the case raises pressing questions about liability in high-risk adventure tourism and the responsibilities of tour operators in ensuring client safety.
As the legal battle unfolds, Craig Manders is seeking justice for his wife’s tragic death, shining a spotlight on the risks that can come with even the most carefully planned safari experiences.
