About

It's fun to scan for hippos. The best time to actually see the hippos is early morning or before sunset. Otherwise you're just in for a nice relaxing ride in a leaky boat.

Lake Tengrela is a small lake near Banfora in Burkina Faso. It is known for its hippopotamuses. Locals believe that these hippopotamuses do not attack humans because they are sacred hippopotamuses. Crocodiles are almost never seen in this lake. It is 2 km long and 1.5 km wide.
