Die donkerder maande is elke park se beste seisoen, wanneer die bos yler is of water skaars is en diere makliker gesien word. ’n Waarneming is nooit gewaarborg nie.
Beste tye van die dag
- Ná donker en rondom dagbreek. Die Hippopotamus is meestal snags aktief, so ’n nagrit gee die beste kans.
- Bedags, rus. Gewoonlik weggesteek in digte bos, ’n gat of water.

Vrae wat reisigers vra
’n Waarneming beteken dat ’n gasheer die Hippopotamus op die eiendom of naby gesien het. Dit waarborg nooit dat jy dit sal sien nie.
Which parks and reserves are best for the Hippopotamus in South Africa?
Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Hippopotamus at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Sabi Sand Game Reserve, Kwandwe Private Game Reserve, Phinda Private Game Reserve, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park and Marakele National Park and other reserves. A record means a host has seen it on the property or nearby, which makes these the places to base yourself; it is never a guarantee of a sighting on any given day.
Where can you see the Hippopotamus in South Africa?
The Hippopotamus is most recorded in Mpumalanga (41% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (21% of records), Limpopo (21% of records), based on 5,154 iNaturalist observations. 64 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Hippopotamus on site or nearby.
When is the best time to see the Hippopotamus?
The Hippopotamus is recorded throughout the year, so no month is the wrong month to look for it. For the parks where hosts record it most, these are the best seasons they give. Kruger National Park: Apr-Sep; Sabi Sand Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep optimal; Kwandwe Private Game Reserve: year-round, best Mar-May, Sep-Nov; Phinda Private Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.
What is the conservation status of the Hippopotamus?
The Hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius) is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List.
What is the Hippopotamus?
The common hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius), or hippo, is a large, mostly herbivorous, semiaquatic mammal native to sub-Saharan Africa, and one of only two extant species in the family Hippopotamidae, the other being the pygmy hippopotamus (Choeropsis liberiensis or Hexaprotodon liberiensis). The name comes from the ancient Greek for "river horse" (ἱπποπόταμος).

Waar om te bly vir ’n kans om die Hippopotamus te sien
Elke verblyf op die Hippopotamus-bladsy lys die spesies wat die gasheer op of naby die eiendom aangeteken het. ’n Aantekening is ’n waarneming, nooit ’n belofte nie.
