Terrifying moment, angry hippo chases tourists’ SPEEDBOAT out of its territory in Kenya

It’s the terrifying moment an angry hippo chased a group of tourist speedboats to force them out of its territory in Lake Victoria, Kenya.

The footage shows four hippos calmly enjoying the water as the boat approaches before one clearly opposes the tourists.

The semi-aquatic mammal makes an angry throaty sound as it leaps forward and begins to chase the tourist boat.

Images show the hippo sliding through the water as shocked tourists start to walk away in fear.

The massive animal disappears underwater as it pursues, only briefly surfacing to breathe.

The stunning footage was captured on Friday by Dicken Muchena, 27, who had jumped into the speedboat with three friends in the hopes of spotting a hippo.

This is the second time in six months that geography professor Muchena has been hunted by an angry safari animal in Kenya.

In December, he was charged by a huge giraffe during a visit to the jungle of the Masai Mara reserve in Kenya.

The group had just left after spending time admiring the giraffes in their pastures in the reserve when the huge creature came so close that it “almost stepped on the vehicle,” according to Muchena.

At the time he said he believed the animal mistook them for enemies and described the encounter as “frightening”.

Eventually the driver managed to move the car out of the way of the giraffe. No one was injured in the incident.
