The Hippo Pool is situated on the Crocodile River, about 5 km from Crocodile Bridge Gate. This pool is the home of many grunting giants, usually lazing away the day submerged up to their necks in water. Although visitors are welcome to alight from their vehicles, it is best to keep in mind that these animals, although they look cumbersome, are actually extremely dangerous and fast on land, so stay in the designated area at all times. They do come ashore at dusk to graze on the nearby grass so you will get a good view of them without leaving your car. Two antelope (one red, one white) are all that remain of a once gloriously-filled tableau of Bushmen rock art at the Kruger National Park's Hippo Pool, on the Crocodile River. The site was defaced by flood waters during the great Croc River flood in February, 2000.
