Hippo House

Pavilions


This house offers a remarkable view of hippos in their natural element – under water, that is.

There are two hippo swimming pools in the compound: one outside and one inside, both with a frontal glass wall. Thanks to these pools, visitors can appreciate the gracefulness with which hippos move under water.
