Dag 3: Entabeni Natural Resort en Bakubung lodge

Home Biota: what is it? Animals Plants Mammals Birds Insects NL EN

In the morning I look around the garden of the Bakubung lodge, but we have to get in the car quickly to get to the Hanglip Lodge in time for the afternoon safari drive. It's all on a much smaller scale, the animals now walk around the buildings.

On the first safari drive we see a something animal: a forest pig. Normally these pigs only show themselves at night. And we see the first lionesses.
