Learn About The Wildlife
Watch the UK’s largest pod of hippopotamus, right outside your Lodge.
Native to Africa, hippos are semi-aquatic mammals and can hold their breath for an average of five minutes, which is long enough for them to take walks along the lakebeds. No wonder their nickname is the ‘river horse’!
The four hippo females, Mavis, Hilary, Gussie and Friday, spend a lot of their day in the water, but they don’t have a diet of aquatic plants. They will come onto the land to feed on grass and tasty lettuce treats from our keepers.
