On the 19th of march, Dr. Richard and his wife, along with a friend and colleague of his, Dr. Harvey Friedman, were planning on taking a guided safari through Tuli Nature Reserve as a way to relax and have fun after all the hard work they had done. By this point, they were about halfway through their
2-month stay in the country, and they decided to take the day off and have some fun. The particular tour they were taking goes through a section of the Limpopo River, on the southernmost part of the reserve. The wildlife in reserve is very diverse, being home to giraffes, lions, cheetahs, and waterbucks to name a few. So it’s not a surprise that it’s one of the most popular tourist locations in the country. This section of the river is one of the only crocodile-free stretches in Botswana, and there had never been a crocodile attack in the area.
However, unknown to the group, that was about to change, and in succession, the lives of many more people.
This is the horrifying true story of Dr. Richard K. Root’s fatal encounter with one of the world’s most feared predators
