The next highlight of the trip was a stop at St. Lucia.  We took a river cruise to see lots of hippos and crocodiles.  That was lots of fun to see.  The signs at the campground warned to watch for hippos at night.  They come ashore to feed at night and can travel 17 km in search of vegetation before they get back to the water in the morning.  We saw several babies and they really are cute. 
There were lots of monkeys around and we were warned to keep all vents and windows closed or they would get into the campers and destroy everything.  There were lots of mongoose families too.
The first game drive was held in St. Lucia to a game preserve called Hluhuwe (pronounced shoo shoo ee).  There was a very big giraffe in the middle of the road to greet us.  Quite a sight!  We saw lots of rhinos, warthogs, buffalo, elephants and impala and zebras.  One big elephant decided to walk right down the middle of the road at our jeep.  The driver backed up, but the elephant kept coming.  Quite scary seeing something that big and powerful coming right at you.  We did keep out of his way, though.  Amazing.....
After the game drive, we walked to the Indian Ocean.  We never expected to be so near it.  It was quite rough and there was an undertow reported, so nobody went swimming.
