Since their creation, the unique architecture of the Tower and Hippo Point’s detailed restoration have had free coverage from the main top fashion, interior design and travel magazines. Many high profile editors, journalists and photographers have been on location trying to capture the stylish atmosphere of the interiors and the free roaming wildlife.

Hippo Point has continuous inquiries from new magazines and books to come. The high appeal of the estate to fashion designers has encouraged the creation of Hippo Point’s shop, with Dodo’s own designs on sale as well as other selected pieces from Kenya, the Swahili coast and India.

In The Tower as dusk comes, you can listen in safety to the noises of animals hunting and watch the mountains flush red violet as the sun spreads its brilliance, the light changes and changes.

Architectural Digest (September 1995)
