One of the lionesses charged off after an Impala and must have run between two and 2.5km before she encountered and attacked the woman.

Chilling details on how a young woman was killed by a lion in the Kevin Richardson Wildlife Sanctuary, Hammanskraal emerged on Wednesday.

The attack happened on Tuesday morning.

A statement by his spokesperson, Janine Lloyd, confirmed the attack took place at the Richardson’s tented camp at the Dinokeng Big 5 Game Reserve.

Richardson is quoted as saying: “Myself and an experienced colleague took three lions walking in the reserve, as we do on a weekly basis, as part of their exercise and stimulation regiment.

“We assessed the landscape for other big five animals and as per procedure sent out a notification that we were walking in the reserve.”

He said one of the lionesses charged off after an Impala and must have run between two and 2.5km before she encountered and attacked the woman.

The victim was not a guest at the sanctuary, but had accompanied her friend to conduct an interview for an assignment with the camp’s manager.

Before leaving the reserve, the two visitors were taking photographs outside the camp where the attack occurred.

“Our condolences and heartfelt sympathies go out to her family at this very difficult time,” said Lloyd.

“I am devastated and my heart goes out to this young woman’s family.”

Richardson said it was not unusual for lions being taken for a walk to break away to chase game along the way.

He tried to follow the lioness but lost sight of her, said Lloyd.

“He [then] received a call from the manager at the tented camp who informed him that a visitor to the reserve had been attacked by a lion.”

“Kevin immediately called the Medivac and instructed his colleague to urgently proceed to the camp in the vehicle to provide assistance while he attended to the other two lions.”

Lloyd said Richardson rushed to the scene where he proceeded to conduct CPR.

Cullinan police spokesperson Constable Connie Moganedi said the identity of the woman could not yet be confirmed as the investigation is still ongoing and not all her next of kin had been informed yet.

That is terrible. He might be up for some prison time. And that company had better have good liability coverage.

Okay this line might give further clues: Before leaving the reserve, the two visitors were taking photographs outside the camp where the attack occurred.
