Healthy adult hippos can fight off most predators, so they are largely immune from predation in their natural habitat. There are lots of videos on YouTube of them injuring or killing lions and large crocodiles, although a pride of lions might get lucky on occassion. However, baby and juvenille hippos and old sick hippos are vulnerable.
