About Hippo Lakes
Hippo Lakes brings you the ultimate luxury African Safari experience. Situated in the spectacular Waterberg region, the lodge is uniquely nestled along the edge of a lake bank at the end of a long rugged ravine. The lodge offers you a unique safari wildlife encounter with an unusually large number of animals, birds and plant life.
Hippo Lakes lies within the malaria free UNESCO World Nature Site. Over 30 animal species roam the area including hippo, buffalo, wildebeest, leopard, giraffe, kudu, sable, eland, nyala, hyaena and wild dog. You also have the option to go on “Big 5” excursions to encounter lion, elephant and rhinos.
The greater Waterberg region is reported to have more rhino than all of Kenya and Hippo Lakes proudly support anti-poaching initiatives to keep this magnificent species viable.
“The Waterberg is South Africa’s Eden. Tucked away in Limpopo province, the pristine, rugged and ancient Waterberg region has soaring mountain peaks, antediluvian rock formations, expansive savannah plains, dense riparian forests and plunging river valleys. Here iconic animals tend to outnumber its human counterparts.” – CNN Travel
Safety is key and rest assured, Hippo Lakes take great care in both the game drives and accommodations to keep you out of danger from the animals.
