And then FINALLY I got to see #hippos up close! Or at least, as up close as I'd ever care to get. 😜 And there were 13 of them, all enjoying the cool water!! Pretty sure my favorite one, though, was that little baby peeking at us smack dab in the middle of the group. (Such cuteness!!) Interesting #safari fact: hippos are actually one of the most dangerous animals out there, and are highly aggressive; but because #Kruger and the other game reserves have made conservation a priority, boat traffic is no longer allowed (or at least is very curtailed) in the area rivers, and deaths caused by hippos has dramatically declined in the last few years. #SharingTheEarth #LivingWithWildlife #LearningToBeGoodNeighbors #ItsAllGood #SafariDrive16 #LionSands #KrugerNationalPark (at Lion Sands Game Reserve)
