My husband and I had a very pleasant visit to Hippo Pools. The new managers Kelly and Dave offer friendly, professional service in a relaxing atmosphere. We look forward to our next trip planned in December!

Reviewed 28 September 2012
Lovely place to stay!

We went to Hippo Pools last august 2012 and had a very nice stay! The environment is beautiful! Green gardens, Bougainvillea, a deep blue pool and very comfortable and clean houses.
We stayed at one of the riverside houses and it was amazing. Very nicely decorated with a stunning view at the river. The braai place is cosily built under the trees near the river. We spent a few memorable evenings there. Hippo Pools is also a good place to make some adventurous excursions. You can go to the Kruger Park, visit Moholoholo rehab centre, take a boat trip....and many more.
We would definitely recommend Hippo Pools to anyone!
