The Hippo Point Wildlife Sanctuary is known for its stunning and outlandish views of Kenya’s Great Rift Valley even though people do travel there to also see hippos and stay in the bush. The Hippo House Sanctuary touts 7 bedrooms and provides the main accommodations.
If you can see from the photo above, there’s something they refer to as Dodo’s Tower, which has nine stories of decadence, elegance, craftsmanship and style with incredibly breathtaking 360° views. For those who are thinking there’s remnants of British colonial aftermath, there is with a modern flare.
They’re also known for their sustainable cooking, since they have organically farmed veggies and seafood which they serve in four-star fashion in their restaurant. Yet, at the same time amidst all this beauty and elegance, you must remember you’re in the African bush, so aside from hippos, you also get to see zebra, birds, giraffes and other wildlife during your stay.
