Hluhluwe, setting out on a night drive.

Hluhluwe. Is he tall or do giraffes create the optical illusion of tallness?

Hluhluwe. Impala in pretty flowers. We saw loads of these on our night drive and they look exactly the same......bricking it! Apparently they only sleep about 30 minutes a day, longer than that is considered in Impala circles to be recklessly suicidal.

All that cuteness; big eyes, long lashes, cool spotted coat, foot long blue tongue?????

Hluhluwe. White rhino.

White rhinos. 

Hluhluwe. Buffalo having a splash and the last 2 of an 80 stong herd of elephant that had just crossed the river. There were a few occasions when people said things like; oh you just missed the...... or if you'd stayed you would have seen the cheetah have a go at a wildebeest. Above is a  missed 80 elephant situation.

Hluhluwe. Does he have the look of a hyena who ate 3 steaks and 2 boerewors?

Hluhluwe. On the night drive. All my photos were terrible that night, even with spot-lights.  Somehow I got a decent night shot of this owl.

Hluhluwe. Blue wildebeest.
