According to Anadolu Ajansi (AA), Kebbel, 59, was camping with his wife, Conny, 57, and a group of friends near the Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp in the Kunene Region’s Sesfontein area, nearly 700 kilometres (434 miles) north of the capital, Windhoek.
“We can confirm that Kebbel was unfortunately killed during the incident,“ Environment, Forestry, and Tourism Ministry spokesperson Ndeshipanda Hamunyela told local media.
“There were brave efforts by fellow campers who drove the animal away, but it was too late to save him from the fatal injuries inflicted on his neck,“ Iiduwa said.
Kebbel was also a well-known figure in desert lion conservation circles. According to some media reports, the incident raises questions about human-wildlife interactions in Namibia’s remote areas, particularly those involving endangered desert-adapted lions.
