The experience

What to expect.

The river is part of the hunt, not just the view from camp. Your PH will assess the animals and conditions before deciding how to proceed.

01

Choose the area

River access and hippo quota need to be confirmed for your safari.

02

Allow time to observe

The team needs time to assess the animals and the conditions along the river.

03

Plan the combination

A hippo hunt may form part of a dangerous-game safari. Let us know your other priorities when enquiring.
