This is a humongous hippo that I photographed in Akagera National Park in Rwanda. These are the third largest land mammals in the world. A large male can reach up to 8,000 lbs and 13 ft long. Hippos closest relatives are cetaceans (whales and dolphins) They can stay submerged underwater for 5 minutes. Rwanda is a gorgeous country, and rich in biodiversity

I am professional photographer, videographer, and the CEO of Chris Austria Safaris Ltd. in Uganda. Before moving to this beautiful country, I lived in Ethiopia, and Rwanda. My travel company offers customized wildlife, cultural, and photographic safaris in Uganda, and Rwanda. I’m very passionate about sharing the stunning beauty, culture, people, fashion, food and wildlife from the Pearl Of Africa.
When I lived in the US, I worked with tigers, lions, and other animals for many years at Six Flags in Vallejo, CA and the San Francisco Zoo. This rewarding career inspired me to focus my energies towards wildlife conservation, tourism, and protecting endangered species.
