Retima Hippo Pool is in the Seronera area of the Serengeti National Park. It is the ideal place to see hippos. The river feeding the pool is a good place to see Nile Crocodiles.

You can leave the jeep and walk to the edge of the pool, where you can safely observe them from the top of a low cliff; probably not more than 1m high. It is the most foul-smelling habitat with scum and rising bubbles. The hippos seem to like it as they are free to leave anytime they want. ;D

We waited ages for a battle to ensue as we were told they happen frequently, but all we got was this tired yawn. ISO 100, FL120mm, F14, 1/45sec
