While visiting the Serengeti in Tanzania on safari, we ran into a few pools of hippos. They are one of the many incredible sights in the Serengeti along with things like a lioness kill or a beautiful sunset. Hippos look cute but these animals can be quite dangerous. Our drivers and guides clearly knew where to take us to be able to look at them yet be safe. I have to say they were quite a sight even if the baby one went to town eating stuff that came out of another hippo… Also, it was cool to see how birds co-exist with the hippos.
I thought I’d share some of my favorite pictures of these incredible beasts!
This is what a pool of hippos looks like!
