Set in a tropical garden, with our African ethnic theme and décor, you will hardly believe that you have arrived in South Africa’s third largest city Durban. A blend of cleanliness and affordability, the Hippo Hide caters for the discerning independent traveller.
The tropical garden conceals doubles and singles located in private wooden huts. There is also an en-suite dorm. The bar overlooks an exotic rock pool that is ideal for lazy days. The entertainment area with its thatched gazebo has an all-weather pizza and braai oven.
Our exceptionally friendly and efficient staff can help you plan your trip, organise tours and safaris, provide you with broadband internet and generally make your stay in Durban an unforgetable experience.
Situated in the heart of Durban, there are many things to see and do from the backpackers. Enjoy a day at Ushaka Marine World, spend some time shopping at Gateway Theatre of Shoppping, enjoy a night of fun at The Suncoast Casino and Entertainment World or enjoy what nature has to give at The River Umgeni Bird Park.
