Yawning Hippo

African Style accommodation situated at the confluence of two major rivers, the Zambezi and the Chobe.

Where four countries meet (Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe)

Nestled amongst massive old Mahogany and Terminalia trees in a secluded corner of a lush private garden

Yawning Hippo Cottage overlooks a large floodplain that seasonally fills with the overflow from the two rivers, resulting in a water wonderland of lilies and other aquatic vegetation, which attracts hippos and waterfowl in abundance

The birdlife is spectacular and includes amongst many others carmine and white-fronted bee-eaters nesting in the banks of the floodplain opposite the cottage.

The dawn chorus and your early morning wake up call of tooting ground hornbills, cackling red-billed francolins and crooning Heuglins’ robins is an absolute delight.
