Hluhluwe National Park

Entrance sing to Hluhluwe National Park	We left at 5:00 am to see the wildlife. Within 300 yards of entering the park we run into the pride of lions. We thought what a great start we will see tons of cats here. This was the only sighting we had of cats all day.	Lion pride resting. We did not see any males this day.

One of those to close to call moments. This elephant came trotting of this hill and by the time I got the car in gear and moving he was about 6 feet away.	The tree was shaking as these two scratched their rear end.	Mary enjoying the scenery	Herd of Cape Bufallo	Impala's watching for a lion
Warthogs	Village outside of the main park gate.	All of the parks are entirely surrounded by barbed wire and razor wire, all 500 miles of it. On the left is open country the right is the National Park. I guess the yellow is caused by overgrazing of livestock.	Old house	These kids were ouside the main gate and would dance for buses driving by for money.
This dude came up to our car and asked Mary for a pen. He then ran off with it.	Women taking water home.	Another water carrier. This village was outside of the main park gate.	local store	Playing hide and seek.
