Mammals

Hippo

Spends the day in water and comes out to graze at night.

Hippos stay in water by day to keep cool and graze on land after dark. They are one of Africa's most dangerous animals, so never approach on foot near water.

Look for them in the Serengeti's Retina Hippo Pool, Lake Manyara and the rivers of southern parks such as Nyerere, where boat safaris get you close to pods safely.
