Raffle winner 2012 Teresa D’Amico New York, NY visits Turgwe Trust in July
Earlier this year I entered a raffle through the Turgwe Hippo Trust’s Facebook page, first prize being a 10-night stay at Hippo Haven located in the Save Valley Conservancy in Zimbabwe. Having already expressed an interest in volunteering there, needless to say I was...
Newsletter : May 2012
Reblogged from old website: This update for our website is long overdue but with all of this correspondence, I have to be careful that I don’t end up spending more time writing than actually physically being out in the bush with the hippos, and helping them in their...
Volunteer : Mirinda Thorpe from Australia, December/January 2012
HIPPO HAVEN – the name gives a slight indication into the nature of the place. A picture or expectations may be developed from hearing such a name, of which some may be true… though it cannot come close to giving a complete picture into life at Hippo...Volunteers Chris and Neve Wade from Australia visit Hippo Haven, October 2011
My 14 year old daughter and I spent 17 days volunteering at Hippo Haven in Sept and Oct 2011. In the end volunteering was the wrong word as we both felt very much a part of the extended family and it was very hard to leave. We were also lucky enough to share 3...
Some Humour from Dr Jean-Roger Paolillo August 2001

Volunteer, Hazel Mitchison, Yorkshire U.K, visits Sept/October 2009
I have always been an animal lover, and as my sister has been a hippo parent for many years I was pleased to be able to meet Karen in 2006, at one of her talks in the UK. She really inspired me when she talked about the hippos, the problems with poaching and all the...
Volunteer : Cary Martin of UK, November 2007.
I’d listened to Karen’s lectures, read her newsletters, looked at the photographs and watched the DVD, but none of this had really prepared me for the feelings of sheer wonder that I felt when I first set eyes on a group of hippos lying nonchalantly in the...
In Memory of Bob Hippo 1950’s-2003
Yesterday, the 4th of February, the day commenced like any other. But by evening I knew I had lost the most important hippo of all of the Turgwe Hippos. Bob the bull had died. Bob was the largest hippo bull in the entire Turgwe River. He was also probably the oldest....You can Donate or Adopt a hippo
