There used to be a hippo in Ceasar dam in the old days...wonder if there are any now?

I didn't even know that Harpoor used to be called Ceasar? But no hippo in that section of Addo. Only in the Sundays River as far as I know.

I wouldn't call it exactly a "great" sighting - we had better ones in the KTP - but we were certainly very happy to see them at all!
