Time to wrap up the photographic trip report of our recent visit to the Eastern Shores of Lakes St. Lucia, with a gallery of some of the larger animals we encountered on land and sea in the place of miracles and wonders – the iSimangaliso Wetland Park.

What a beautiful, restful place. I’m sure you had a wonderful time.
And to think there’s people actually lucky enough to live there permanently!
Jou foto’s laat my altyd glimlag
Baie dankie Tina, dis regtig gaaf van jou!
Die walvis,rooiduiker en samango aap, is besonders,Dries.Mens sien dit darem nie aldag nie!
Ek dink dis deel van Cape Vidal se bekoring, Dina; dat diere soos die wat jy genoem het, en die Tonga Rooi Eekhoring, daar so maklik sigbaar is en elders in SA bitter skaars voorkom.
I love “Blue Wildebeest”
Thanks P J B. They’re a common sight at iSimangaliso, but I never tire of seeing them.
So many good picture you have shot, Dries! They are very good and amazing. I must admit tha I haven´t seen man of them. Thanks for your amazing blog with great pictures. 🙂
You’re always so kind, thanks John! Glad to know you enjoyed iSimangaliso’s wildlife so much.
Those horns in the first shot; magnificent!
And the Kudus at iSimangaliso are especially impressive!
Terrific collection! I loved seeing the mongoose and would love to see one in person.
Thank you! The Banded Mongooses can be quite naughty when they get into a fridge or cupboard – but they’re too cute to stay mad at!
Great photos!
Thank you, Amy!
