3 Photography Holidays Where You May Encounter The Hippopotamus
The photography holidays listed below operate in regions & habitats where the Hippopotamus is regularly encountered. As with all wildlife photography, sightings can never be guaranteed, but our itineraries are designed around seasonal behaviour, suitable habitat, & photographic opportunity, giving you the best possible chance of meaningful encounters in the field.
Our small-group approach allows time in the field to adapt to conditions, behaviour, & photographic opportunities as they unfold.
You can photograph the Hippopotamus in Africa, Botswana & Kenya. During our photography holidays, the Hippopotamus is often photographed alongside African Buffalo, African Elephant, Leopard, Lion, Nile Crocodile & African Fish Eagle.
Seasonal presence & photographic opportunity vary by location & time of year.
Photography themes commonly associated with this species include absolutely iconic species, African wildlife, big cats, mammal, photographic safaris based in Africa, & wildlife whilst on safari in Africa.
