Lion Mauls Tourist to Death at Namibian Safari Lodge

  • Businessman Bernd Kebbel, 59, died from a lion attack near Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp in Namibia early on May 31, 2025.
  • Kebbel left his rooftop tent mounted on a 4x4 to use the toilet when the lion lunged at him during the early morning hours.
  • Fellow campers were alerted by Kebbel’s screams, rushed in darkness, and drove off the lioness before she could devour him, but he had died instantly from fatal neck injuries.
  • Namibian police confirmed his death and said, "Nothing could be done to save him" as officials investigated the incident in the Kunane region, home to about 60 desert lions whose numbers have declined recently.
  • Kebbel’s death highlights the risks of wildlife encounters in this region and may prompt further conservation and safety measures at remote lodges.
