About Hippo Trails Camp

Hippo Trails Camp provides accommodation under canvas in large classic style tents with on demand hot water and flush toilets. The tents, elevated on wood platforms, are fashionably decorated with comfortable furnishings including a king size or twin beds, a writing desk, luggage racks and a sitting area with chairs and coffee table.


The location, quite near Retima Hippo pool, is a perfect launching point for wildlife viewing to most of the hotspots in northern and central Serengeti. Leave camp after breakfast with a picnic lunch and spend the day exploring, or get an early start and leave with breakfast, returning to camp for lunch and an afternoon siesta.
