Things to see near Hluhluwe ... Head off on a Game Safari Drive

What a fun afternoon, a game drive from our hotel to the Hluhluwe Game Reserve.

Once we'd passed through the entry point, we headed off in convoy, all filled with anticipation & delight. Our guide Jan had whispered that he'd turn down the first track hoping to find a lioness and her two cubs.  Not to be, however we all enjoyed the wild animal spotting adventure.

Giraffe roaming not far from the entry point to the reserve.

Warthog enjoying a bad hair day!  Other warthogs were enjoying dusty dirt baths
& a touch of tummy scratching!

Love the Zebra stripes


A traffic stopper & not a STOP or GO sign in sight ...
White Rhinoceros aka White Rhino

Rhino calf practising crossing the road ...
It had already looked both ways before crossing the road with its mother .


Snack time, with mum standing close by.

A long & winding road, through Hluhluwe Game Reserve,
towards the exit gate.

The setting sun just outside the Hluhluwe Game Reserve Gate.

Adventures in and around Hluhluwe were drawing nigh ...  time to return to Durban & then on to spend time with family in Hillcrest & Creighton,  in the foothills of the stunning Drakensburg mountains.
Bye for now.
Cheers Jen
