US Man Sues Safari Company After Wife Killed in Zambia Hippo Attack

Craig Manders is suing African Portfolio, a safari tour company, after his wife, Lisa, was killed in a hippo attack during their anniversary trip to Zambia last June. The lawsuit, filed in February, claims that the company failed to ensure safety and did not adequately supervise the tour guides, who allegedly did not assist during the attack. Lisa Manders, 70, suffered fatal injuries, and her husband, who witnessed the incident, is seeking damages and accountability for her death. The company denies any negligence, asserting that it adheres to safety standards and has a strong reputation in the industry. They plan to contest the lawsuit, potentially seeking dismissal or arbitration as per the trip agreement. The case raises concerns about safety protocols in wildlife tourism.
