About 2Km - 3 small dams. The town has numerous greenbelts along the
normally non-perennial stream watercourses. However, with the current
dismal maintenance of sewers & potable water networks by the Muni, most
flow a bit all the year round. Those in the northern part of town feed
the dams where the Hippos hang out during the day. At night they easily
make their way up the watercourses into town where the grazing remains
plentiful during the dry season. There have been accidents with cars (1
fatality) but no attacks that I know of. In the game reserves, Hippos
graze away from rivers & dams during the night too.

How far are you from the water? I didn’t think hippos liked to travel very far
overland.
I also recall that one doesn’t want to have a disagreement with one.

A Hippo made a smelly deposit at our gate last night. No damage fortunately. A
couple of years ago they devoured the whole vegetable garden in a yard across
the street.
