Answer 1

Leopards, lions, and hippos are not predators of humans. Especially not a whole bunch of humans inside loud scary vehicles. These animals simply have no interest in humans unless they’re provoked or cornered. Attacks by these animals are extraordinarily rare. Additionally, safaris take place inside wildlife preserves where the animals are somewhat accustomed to the presence of vehicles and humans, so they don’t see humans as either threats or prey.
