About

This isn't a restaurant — it's a marshy point where hippos cool off, near Thompson's Falls. There's no fence, no facilities, just hippos and views. Go for the wildlife sighting if you're touring the area, but be vigilant and don't expect food or amenities.

    Here you can see the real hippopotamus in just a small area pool of water. Best place for touring.

    Hippo Point is NOT a restaurant or a hotel, it's just a marshy point where hippos come to cool off. Located along Nyahururu Nyeri road near Thompsons falls opposite the new resort. Be extra vigilant as there is no fence or anything that blocks the hippos from gutting you. It's kinda disaster in waiting if it has not already happened. Most reviews here are misleading.
