About Our Hippos

This website is dedicated to the life and wellbeing of a very special creature named Jessica. Jessica is an 23-year old female Hippopotamus (Hippopotamus Amphibius) who lives near Hoedspruit, South Africa.

What makes Jessica so special and unique, is the fact that she’s a wild animal that interacts with humans in a rather different way than nature has intended.

Did you know ?

The name hippopotamus comes from the Greek words “hippos,” meaning horse, and “potamus,” meaning river.

Though the hippo spends most of its day in the water, it is more closely related to the pig than the horse.

Do you want to fall asleep to our hippo's grunt ?

Then The Chalet would be the choice for your stay.

Description:

From R 1000 per person per night, from 1 up to 3 persons, children half price

The Chalet is ideally for 2 adults but a single bed can also be made for a child or for an adult. That has been done with no complaints. The veranda is big enough and keeps you safe from all the wild animals that lurk around.

Little well equipped kitchenette. Lovely walk-in shower - the shower door also has this open mouth hippo on the door.

The chalet is relatively new... and the hippos can be fed from there and they sleep most nights next to chalet when they choose to.

The Chalet is self-catering.
