One of our clients, Craig Jackson, recently sent us this video of the guys on the boat avoiding a particularly territorial hippo. Guts and i had deliberated as to whether to show it but as we did it has been released by someone else and gone viral credited to an operator and client on Lake Malawi or Kariba. We have taken the decision to try and correct this error and have decided to post it to give credit to our part of the world and Craig. We want to assure you that we were doing our utmost to avoid this animal and as you can see from the film it started well away from the boat. We hope that it perhaps goes some way to dispelling the perception that hippos are large lethargic herbivores...they are truly dangerous and as you will see in this film deadly fast through the water. Toby Jermyn and GUTS.
