About this Workshop

Join us for an unprecedented workshop that dives deep into the principles of risk management, illustrated by a harrowing encounter with one of Africa's most dangerous animals โ€“ the hippopotamus.

๐Ÿฆ› Unearthing the Hippo Dilemma: Begin with intriguing facts about hippos โ€“ from their surprising speed to the startling number of yearly attacks โ€“ setting the stage for the gripping narrative ahead.

๐ŸŒŠ Pre-trip Strategies: Discover the proactive measures taken before embarking on the expedition, like choosing to be in a raft, having seasoned guides on board, and innovative methods like smacking the water's surface to make hippos visible, ensuring a safer passage.

๐ŸŒŒ Night-time Precautions: Learn about the unique nighttime strategies, like staying secure within tents and roping off potential entry points to keep menacing hippos at bay.

๐ŸŽฅ Reliving the Attack: Experience the intensity of the encounter with exclusive footage captured shortly after the attack. An immersive look at the moments of crisis.

๐Ÿ”„ Post-Attack Reflexes: Delve into the immediate reactive measures taken post-attack, emphasizing the significance of adaptability in risk management. Witness how on-the-spot team brainstorming led to innovative solutions like vacating waterways near hippos and keenly observing their behavior for safety cues.

๐Ÿšค Evolving Strategies for Future Safaris: Reflect on the learnings that, while not applicable during the trip, will prove invaluable for future expeditions, such as employing drones for a bird's eye view or having motorized support boats scout ahead.

Expeditions, much like business ventures, are intricate dances with risk. While preemptive strategies are indispensable, the real test lies in swiftly adapting to unforeseen challenges. This workshop offers not just an adrenaline-pumping story, but vital lessons in agility, adaptability, and the dynamic nature of risk management.
