Our second day in St. Lucia we got up earlyyy to go to hluhluwe game reserve! We had to be out of the house at 5!! So when we got there, the sun was just coming up!
The first bit of game that we saw was a bird!! This is an Africa Hoopoe.
Then (after some rhino and zebra) we saw a pride of lions!! They were super super far away so it actually took us several minutes to see them (cars were stopped and we were trying to see why). They were lying in a river bed.
So this... is the biggest.. Rhino ever... I wasn't able to get a good picture of him, but he was sooo big!! Definitely one of my highlights of the game drive.
Pumbaa! This was a huge warthog that we saw right after the giant rhino. In this picture you can see him down on his knees eating.
We saw a herd impala and a wildebeest. Throughout the game drive we saw hundreds of impala.
A nice looking white rhino.
I was able to get a nice picture of some oxpeckers on a rhino!
Lilac-breasted Roller perched on a dead tree.
Lions round 2!! This is a picture of the 2nd pride of lions that we saw. Both prides were far away, but we still saw 2 prides in 1 day!!
Elephants fighting each other! After driving for over 6 hours we finally saw elephants and they were fighting!! What an amazing sight.
Black bellied bustard.
Water buffalo
Garret sure did enjoy the game drive. Soaking it alll in!! ?
Angry young elephant
Family of elephants
Face off! They didn't fight, but they posed nicely =)
Warm fuzzy feeling inside?
A herd of kudu. This is now at Simangaliso wetland park.
Baby white rhino! These are the last couple of rhino that we saw. We were hoping to see some black rhino, but we were only able to see white rhino the whole weekend.
Crested eagle holding dinner.
We saw some more kudu as the sun started to set. Same bunch as earlier. Hluhluwe is a much bigger game park, we saw a lot of animals multiple times at Simangaliso.
Sunset to end the day at Simangaliso. This was the last time we saw the sunset in St. Lucia. We drove home the next morning. St. Lucia is one of the most beautiful places I have visited.
