Dag 23: R618 en Saint Lucia

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

We start again with the manager to look for birds. Now we have more time to actually look because we do the distance with a jeep. That gives a nice picture of a turaco. Natascha drives us around in the savannah of the iSimangaliso Wetland Park. We don't find lions, but we do find giraffes and a "new" bird of prey.
