Few would guess it, but hippos are incredibly fast on land! And believe it or not, these gentle giants can devour an entire watermelon in a single bite. When she’s not indulging in her favorite treats, Viviana enjoys leisurely dips in her pools and cherishes quality time with her best hippo friends: Tuma, Tequila, and Ramona.

A beloved resident at the park for many years, Viviana has captivated guests with her charm and personality. Her 50th birthday is a testament to her long and cherished presence at the park, reminding us of her enduring importance to the Kilimanjaro Safaris experience.
