For tens of 'foot-fishermen' in Lake Naivasha, the rising number of hippos in the lake and not the no-nonsense Kenya Coast Guards Service (KCSG) pose the biggest risk to them.

For the group, unlike the guards who they can negotiate with, the hippos have turned to be the lake's newest killers and cause of disabilities.
