Description
Before my trip to South Africa, I couldn't even imagine how much fun it would be to photograph hippopotamuses in the wild! My mind was on lions, leopards, cape buffaloes, and elephants...not hippos. But I was in for an unexpected thrill! These unique looking beasts of the water proved to be amazingly entertaining and a lot more photogenic than I could have imagined. Our first introduction to the hippos of South Africa was on a cruise of the St. Lucia Estuary, home to over 800 hippos, more than 1200 crocodiles, and a vast variety of birds. By the time dark descended and we were docking the boat, I had taken over a thousand shots of the fascinating wildlife along the estuary, but by far the hippos were the best!
