After the wedding we had a couple of days in St Lucia on the Elephant Coast in a UNSESCO world heritage site. We were told it was one of the safest places in South Africa and it was fine to walk around the town at night but there was a high possibility of meeting a hippo or leopard wandering the streets too!
We spent one day driving through the game park and being beaten by the waves of the Indian Ocean. We saw a few different animals including buffalo and monkeys but no leopards. Afterwards we went on a boat trip along the estuary where we saw loads of hippos and some crocodiles. The hippos hung around in large groups with the younger ones near the middle. One of the crocs was huge and apparently they can move from water to land at 70kph! A couple of fish eagles were keeping watch over the river and we were treated to an African sunset on our return to the jetty.
