Overview

Hippo Trails Camp is well-named, being close to the lively Retima Hippo Pool, in a location convenient for visiting the wildlife highlights of Central and Northern Serengeti. And you can enjoy the views down to the river, a magnet for wildlife.

After an early breakfast, you can set out on your exciting game drives. Hippo Trails Camp is focused around a large, elevated communal tent with a dining room and relaxing lounge. And there is a veranda with lovely views. A public restroom tent is near the communal area.

Most guests will take a picnic lunchbox with them on safari, while dinner is usually served to the table and consists of soup, followed by a choice of a main course.
