About Happy Hippo International Backpackers Lodge
The Happy Hippo is a brand new lodge opened by Micky and Michelle (owners of the Hippo Hide). It is the closest hostel to Durban's golden mile and beautiful blue flag beaches.
The Happy Hippo could not be situated any better for seeing durban's greatest attractions, with the beaches approx 600mts away and Ushaka marine world 300mts away, buses and taxis on the door step and the centre of town is within walking distance sightseeing could not be easier!
Our info desk can arrange any activity you may want to do whilst in Durbs. We have tried to bring all the facilities you may require under one roof making your stay as comfortable and easy as possible.
the Happy Hippo is about as close to the action as you can get. Situated within walking distance of Durban's best beaches and on the doorstep of the recently opened uShaka Marine World, staying at the Happy Hippo means that you have easy access to many of Durban's holiday attractions without the need for transport. When you need to venture further afield or continue your exploration of South Africa, taxi, bus, train and air transport are all easily accessable.
