Lion Mauls Tourist to Death at Namibian Safari Lodge

  • Bernd Kebbel, a 59-year-old businessman and philanthropist, was fatally attacked by a lion early morning near Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp in northwest Namibia.
  • Kebbel descended from his elevated rooftop tent attached to a 4x4 vehicle to use the toilet when a lion suddenly attacked him.
  • Fellow campers responded quickly by chasing off the lion, but Kebbel was killed almost instantly from fatal neck injuries.
  • Namibian authorities confirmed Kebbel's death and noted there are around 60 desert lions in the Kunane region, with locals naming the lioness involved 'Charlie.'
  • The incident highlights ongoing human-wildlife conflict amid declining lion populations due to drought and prey shortages, with investigations continuing at the site.
