Safari in Namibia: Hippo spotting in Bwabwata National Park

There was only one rule at my lodge deep in the Namibian bush – shut the gate leading to the water after dark. It was a necessary precaution to keep hippos from wandering among the thatched bungalows where we'd be sleeping on this remote island in Bwabwata National Park. But the fence intended to protect us was only knee-high – hippos can weigh 1,500kg and are one of the most aggressive species in Africa.
