TextThe Kazinga Channel, a 25 mile long natural canal running between Lake Edward and Lake George in the west of Uganda is the most densely populated hippo hideout in the world. Sometimes, they stand about in herds of 50 to 100. The Uganda Game Warden says that even the figure of 5000 may be underestimating the population by as much as 100.
