Jessica the Hippo

I can't articulate the sense of ease and peace that radiates when you're around Jessica and Seun, despite knowing that Hippos kill more humans in Africa. An unforgettable experience. Oh please remember to withdraw cash before you go, there's no reception for an EFT

Great experience, but children aren’t allowed to touch or feed Jessica or Seun. So that was very disappointing for the kids. Expected more, because such a great a experience but they can really do more to make the place look better and be more professional.

Absolutely love this place . Jessica is a great girl and it’s clear that she loves Tonie and that she has a great life . I really enjoyed the way the visit as done . It’s perfect

Amazing. Great experience. Clean. Animals well looked after. Free to roam. Great story.

for a true south african experience and friendly staff it is a place to visit. make sure to take all necessary kitchen needs. there is everything you need but around covid times you can never be to sure. we did not visit jessica hippo, but we stayed over in the lodge. very nice experience. always watch out for reptiles and hippos because it is full of nature

This is a fun activity for the whole family! Come and enjoy this rare but amazing, once in a lifetime experience, where you can feed Jessica and Seun and finish off your close encounter with these two loving beasts by giving them some tea.. completely forgetting about the fact that hippo's are very dangerous animals and stats have shown that they are the animals that kills the most humans a year... Truely something to exprerience!

Jessica the hippo is clearly one of the most unique activity to ever do in this world. Nowhere else you can be this close to a hippo and not only feed her, but you also get to touch her a bit on the nose. It's not very long but the memory of it will last my whole life.

Out of this world. It was an experience of a lifetime. Love to see the relationship between human and animal. They're family with a real love for each other. Highly recommend!Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

Really a once in a lifetime opportunity. The tour is short but is is packed with the most adrenaline rush ever. Unfortunately when we visited Jessica was not feeling well luckily she was recovering well but we got the chance to interact with the male hippo, Richie. We fed him and gave him tea and also had the opportunity to touch him. You can see the owners really care for both hippos. There is bathroom facilities and you can also buy small hippo souvenirs.

Awesome experience. A newer pre-video is required though. I wish that a South African journalist can do a piece on Jessica for the company!
