At only one and a half hours drive from Nairobi, Hippo Point's comforts will provide travelers with all the excitement of Africa without the worries and uncertainties of venturing into the sunset. Eight double bedrooms, a secluded swimming pool, an open gazebo for invigorating body treatments, and a team of dedicated staff will provide guests with the perfect base from which to enjoy the surrounding African wilderness.
