Hippo PicturesA great way to photograph hippos is from the water, either when paddling a canoe or traveling slowly in a motorized boat. Although it's possible to snap hippos from land, they will usually be some distance from the banks of the river or lake, so you'll need a longish telephoto lens, preferably 300mm or more. If a hippopotamus is near enough to allow a shorter lens, watch out! These massive animals are deceptively agile and can be out of the water in a split second, charging you on land at speeds of up to 40 km/h.
