Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park is home to giants; behemoths that can cause the earth to tremble with every step. And they’re not shy about showing themselves either, as we found out again during our visit in December.
Buffaloes were in evidence throughout the Park, whether as lone bulls, in small bachelor groups or in huge herds.
We could never tire of seeing elephants!
The curious giraffes tower over everything else in Hluhluwe-Imfolozi, except the magnificent scenery…
It is thanks to Hluhluwe Imfolozi that we can still see the Southern White Rhino in the wild today.
We didn’t get to see the hippos on this trip, and only managed two quick sightings of black rhinos that were too fleeting for photos, but still, these galleries should be proof enough that giants still roam Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park.

Those buffalo might be ready to fight, but the look on their faces suggests they are all zenned out. Perhaps too much quality time at the mud spa? 😉

Pragtige foto’s. Olifante is my gunsteling en ek kan ook nooit te veel van hulle sien nie. Buffels het darem indrukwekkende horings.

Die Park lyk nou baie mooi na die reens, Aletta, maar ek dink nie daar het al genoeg reen geval dat mens die droogte as iets van die verlede kan beskou nie…
