Overview

The Hippo Point is a satellite camp of The Retreat Selous, particularly set for couples or privacy-seeking adventurers.

Dining

Taking the advantage of being a remote camp of the Retreat Selous, guests have the option of dining in the main dining area or if they seek privacy, they can ask the personal chef to prepare meals and serve them in the camp. However, breakfast served in the morning boosts you for your initial game drives. As you return in the afternoon, you choose to relax and have a comforting tea. Dinners ideally enjoyed in a candlelit ambiance and recommended to enjoy outdoor while you gaze at the beautiful shining sky.

Rooms

The Hippo Point has two suites that are spacious and perfect for a couple. These have wooden flooring beautifully decorated with rugs and walls covered with gauze to let the cool breeze enter, keeping the mosquitoes prevented. The suites have luxurious bathrooms with flush toilets and shower. A private plunge pool is also available on the deck where you can spend calm moments while you enjoy the African wilderness.
