Enjoy breakfast with a view of hippopotamuses at Dombo Hippo Pool

Dombo Hippo Pool is a shallow lake where hippopotamuses regularly gather. From a hide on the shore you can watch the animals from an elevated position. It makes a pleasant change, as you can get out of the vehicle. As well as the hippopotamuses you can also see pied kingfishers and African fish eagles hunting for fish over the water.

Dombo Hippo Pool lies on the route from Xakanaxa to North Gate and is well suited for a breakfast stop. You can park right by the hide and from there it is only a few steps to the covered viewing platform. The spot is easy to reach and offers a good opportunity to get out of the vehicle and experience the surroundings from a different perspective. It is ideal for a longer break with views over the water.
