Guest reviews
"Hippo Point is one of the most amazing places you’ll ever set foot in! From the moment you arrive, you will feel like you have come to a magical place. Surrounded by wildlife, looking out onto both lakes, with smiling friendly helpful faces everywhere who will take care of whatever you might need, and the most amazing fresh food you can imagine! There is an amazing pool also overlooking the lake and the morning safari walks are fantastic. Every single room is beautifully decorated and the touch of history at the Manor House transports you back in time a little. We absolutely can’t wait to return!"
"Hippo Point is not only a beautiful, idyllic spot with gorgeous sunsets, rolling green lawns, and loads of giraffe, zebras, monkeys, impalas, warthogs and more strolling through the property, it is also a beautiful, comfortable stately house staffed by attentive and warm staff which feels more like you’re staying in a friend’s home than a lodge or hotel. From the freshly squeezed fruit juice at breakfast to the sumptuous lunches on the lawn and indulgent cocktail hours on the hills above the lake, you are pampered with quiet grace and old-fashioned style. A stay at Hippo Point is like a trip back in time to the heyday of the “Happy Valley set” at its best. Highly recommended."
"Just a fantastic place to unwind and enjoy the closeness to nature, but in luxury. The attention to detail, both in the design of the place and in the service cannot be emphasized enough. Hippo Point is Kenya’s"
