According to witnesses, Chang Ming Chuang, 66, got too close to the animal he was trying to photograph off the shore of Lake Naivasha, in the Great Rift Valley region.
The hippo bit him on the chest causing massive bleeding and he was pronounced dead on arrival at the Naivasha District Hospital on Saturday.
His companion Wu Peng Te, 62, survived the attack with minor bruises in the beauty spot which is about 50 miles north-west of the capital Nairobi.
China's official Xinhua news agency cited the Chinese embassy in Nairobi as saying it had sent diplomats to the scene.

MY TAKE
The company that played a host should be held accountable for irresponsibility of her tour guide.
