Weekend Trip - Hluhluwe iMfolozi Park / St. Lucia



 So, last weekend we spend two nights at the Isinkwe Backpackers Bushcamp,
it was literally deep in the bush but very authentic and nice as you can see on the following pictures. And when you are having dinner at the pool you can also watch the bush babies get fed. 
"Right next door" you can pet some wild animals like the cheetah and get your new facebook profil picture taken. ;-)

The Hluhluwe-iMfolozi-Park is located 280km north of Durban, it is the oldest Nationalpark in Africa. it covers an area of 960 km² in KwaZulu-Natal.



We went to the Hluhluwe Gamereserve quite early in expectation to see the Lion and Leopard. Unfortunately those two remained hidden in the bushes. But we got to see the other three of the BIG FIVE.
As you can see above we got very close to the rhinos... some elephants where wandering around not too far from us as well...

The following days we drove all the way to St. Lucia to see some Hippos and Crocodiles...
There we stayed for two nights until Jenny and I got back to Durban by Minibus whereas Paddy & Sandy continued their journey up to Mozambique.
