Let’s discover the protagonist of the trip:

Kiboko - Hippopotamus

It measures about 4 m. including the small tail and some weigh up to 3 tons.

Despite its huge size, and broad it is rather agile and can load more than 30 km-hour.

The hippopotamus is the animal that causes more deaths among humans than any other animal in Africa. At night, when wandering around the tents, you can feel it graze the grass but just scare him or block his run to the water to cause serious accidents. By day it remains in the water to get out as soon as the sun goes in search of green grass with which to feed.

They live in groups with a dominant alpha male that dominates the territory and the brand spreading the dung in the water with its tail. Only the female defecates out of the water.

The hippo can remain in apnea up to 6 minutes.

Charges and Conditions:

From $ 4,000 per person for a minimum of 02 people
