Speed: 30 mph (land) 5 mph (water)
Food Source: Grass, plants, and sometimes carrion
Defense Tactics: Hipppos are very big and one of the most aggressive animals in the world. Do your best to stay far away from them and never join them in a swim. If you do run into an unpleasant encounter with them, your best bet is to climb a tree.

Lion
Location: Southern Africa
Size: 400-600 lbs
Speed: 50 mph
Food Source: Deer, Gazelles, wildebeest, impalas, zebras, warthogs, and buffalo
Defense Tactics: Since people are slower, weaker, less agile, and smaller, it makes things difficult to defend yourself against a lion. If you do encounter one, hopefully you have a gun with you to scare it off, or a big knife you can use to stick in it should it decide to pounce on you. Other than that, hopefully you have some spare meat you can feed him, because he won't be leaving you on an empty stomach.

Black Mamba
Location: Africa
Size: 8-14 feet long
Speed: 15 mph (fastest land snake in the world)
Food Source: Small birds and rodents
Defense Tactics: Keep your distance and carry a long stick or pole. Make sure the stick is kept in front if the snake's face, so if it does decide to strike, it will most likely attack it instead of you. If bitten, you have less than an hour before the snake's venom paralyzes you, and only a few more hours until you die. Make sure you have the antivenom if you are to be wandering in places known to be slithering with the ever-so-quick Black Mamba.

Black Rhino
Location: Southern Africa
Size: 1,500 - 3,000 lbs
Speed: 30 mph
Food Source: Plants, bushes, branches, and fruit
Defense Tactics: Don't make it mad, whatever you do. Rhinos have been known to charge things that make them feel threatened, similar to that of a bull. If one does need up charging you, try and climb a thick tree, jump into a pool of water, or run in zigzags since they have a more difficult time maneuvering.
Fatalities: 0-5 per year

Gorilla
Location: Central & Western Africa
Size: 5-6 feet tall, 300 - 600 lbs
Speed: 25 mph
Food Source: Fruits, leaves, herbs, and roots
Defense Tactics: Gorillas are bigger, faster, stronger, and more agile than humans, so trying to escape from an enraged gorilla can be quite difficult. Your best chance for defending yourself against a gorilla is to jump in a pool of water or to fire a gun, which (hopefully) will be loud enough to scare it away.

Cheetah
Location: Africa and Southwest Asia
Size: 90-140 lbs
Speed: 65-70 mph
Food Source: Gazelles, impalas, wildebeest, and zebras
Defense Tactics: Since most cheetahs fear humans, you should be able to frighten them off with a loud noise, or by throwing objects at them. However, that doesn't mean they wouldn't ever attack a human. They aren't too big of a cat and if one of them actually does decide to nibble on you, fight back and aim for his nose and eyes.

Spotted Hyena
Location: Central & Southern Africa
Size: 100-150 lbs
Speed: 35 mph
Food Source: Gazeles, buffalo, wildebeest, zebras, and smaller animals.
Defense Tactics: Since they are smaller animals you shouldn't have to worry about one attacking you, unless he has his buddies with him. If so, try throwing objects at them to scare them off, or if necessary, climb the nearest tree. A gunshot should easily scare them off as well.
