      That water!!! It was amaaazing, it was so warm, we didn’t want to get out 😅
      Yeah, we got lucky with seeing so many animals.
      Unfortunately it didn’t happen when we were there...but about 2 weeks afterwards we saw on the St Lucia Facebook pages that hippos were roaming the streets at night 😅 it happens quite often apparently. Would’ve been cool for our video 🙈

    Absolutely beautiful town, the ferry when you just enter the town and all the indegenous artists, the canoe fishing right behind your flat, Lake St Lucia, Umfolozi and Hluhluwe game reserve not far away. Heaven on earth. I last visited there in 1996 and want to do it again.

    Thank you for sharing St.Lucia with us. My last time there was in 1995 at the very young age of 25. It is due to my late friend, Debbie Nel-Baker and all that petitioned with her against the total destruction of St.Lucia by a certain company at that time, that St.Lucia is still reserved as a beautiful piece of nature. Stay blessed.🌹

    Your St Lucia was absolutely true to this lovely little town, I lived in Empangeni for 9 years and now I unfortunately live up in Johannesburg. Your videos most certainly make me fall in love all over again with our beautiful country, there is so much to be thankful and grateful for. Loved your Amanzimtoti video, that was my family's holiday destination every year as my parents owned a holiday flat in Amanzi on the 6th floor, I had the best holidays there ever. Did not know there was a bird park or Japanese gardens, will def make a visit there again. Keep up the great videos, way to go to make those who have left sunny SA homesick. Great work you 2!!!

    I love Saint Lucia, we live close by but we did a staycation twice. First time we stayed at Monzi safaris; which is camping inspired accommodation very cool. And the second time was at Little Eden; a self catering modern apartment so stunning the view was everything.
    Isimangaliso as the name suggest it’s magical, the lakes, river and ocean meet. We went up on that hill and spotted whales, so relaxing
    There’s a place by Engen garage that has the best fish I’ve even tasted. Next time you go please check it out, you won’t regret it

    What an amazing place. To experience a game park on its own is amazing enough, but to see it with an ocean backdrop is a whole other level! The Barracca Restaurant on Sunset Jetty looked amazing and is so our type of place! We can't ever seem to pass up dinner and drinks on the water at sunset. Those bird footprints were huge! We are curious about what type of bird that was as well. Amazing video guys! So cool that you live so close to such a great place.

      Thanks guys. It is honestly the greatest feeling to see Rhinos and the beach in the same view. We had such an awesome time. We are not even sure if those were actually bird prints. They could have been some other animal. I can see all of us having dinner and drinks at that restaurant in the future sometime. :-)

    Lots of flamingos over there as well, absolutely amazing!🦩🦩🦩🦩
    We also did a guided bicycle tour with a Zulu guide, so interesting and much fun! It offers a 3hrs tour with bird watching and game viewing inside the park. 🦓🐃🦓
    Try a Craft beer at Ocean Basket; it is worth visiting too. Delicious pizza and beer. 😊🍕🍻
    The most exciting of all was the whale watching aboard of the Advantage Cruiser. Huge humpback whales so close by!!

      We were at the boardwalk very early, there was only one vendor who was still busy setting up. And unfortunately we didn’t see any flamingos ☹️
      A bicycle tour sounds amazing!! Will definitely remember that for next time! Whale tours are always stunning.
      Ocean Basket is my mom’s favourite restaurant 😅 will definitely check out the one in St Lucia next time 👍
