We were up again at 5:30 the next morning. After a quick coffee we climbed back into the van to head to Hluhluwea Game Reserve. Upon entering the park we immediately saw giraffe, rhino, zebra and more impala. We spent the morning driving slowly around the park in search of the big 5 (rhino, leopard, lion, elephant and water buffalo), with breaks for breakfast in the bush and coffee at Hilltop Cafe. On top of plenty more zebra sightings, we also spotted water buffalo and a fresh kill (less than 24 hours old). Adrian explained that it must have been a lion's kill to take down such a large animal (it was a water buffalo).
After another light lunch from the kitchen on wheels we headed out of the park, still excited from our multiple wildlife sightings. On the way home we stopped at Ilala Weavers, where we enjoyed browsing the textiles and crafts made by the locals.
When we arrived back in Durban, tired from our excursion, we were spoiled yet again. Jenny and Costa invited us up for some soup and sandwiches. It was the perfect post safari meal and end to another incredible weekend.
