Hippo Hill Camp is in the buffer zone of Queen Elizabeth National Park close to Katwe town.

Hippo Hill is the only mid-range tented camp in Queen Elizabeth National Park. This new camp only recently opened in September 2006. Situated on a hillside overlooking Lake Edward, just the drive is quite impressive for visitors. Guests are welcomed by wonderful views of the lake, the islands of Kitako and Kabazimu Islands, and a soothing cool breeze. Nearby is the salt lake of Katwe and the Munyanyange crater lake (often visited by flamingoes). Hippos and buffaloes are also regular visitors to the camp surrounds.
