Dag 24: St Lucia: Vogelgids en een nijlpaard boottocht

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

St Lucia is a small tourist town. It is not a safari park, although you can see the hippos in the town at night. We start the day with bird guide Ian Ferrera, who shows us birds in a park for 2.5 hours. For the first time on foot because there are no lions or other dangerous animals. During the day at least, this forest is also visited by hippos at night.
