This little babies footprint is round about 10cm – 12cm long which leads us to believe the baby is about 2-3 weeks old Wow what an extraordinary year it has been!!! With the Covid -19 and all the death surrounding most of the world we are still privileged enough to find that the world around us is still teaming with new life! We would love to welcome our newest member to Sodwana Bay, Lake Sibaya ~ South Africa. [embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UozTyEhERqM[/embedyt] A baby Hippo we suspect was born to our favorite Hippo Pod about 2-3 weeks ago! As of yesterday we have counted 4 babies and the newest addition (that we have not yet seen) will be the 5th baby in this tiny pod! NB! These are not actual facts. All of our statistics are speculated and are not proven! Welcome Baby Hippo… Hope to see you soon! So as of what we know there are at least 6 adults and now 5 babies with brings the total amount of members to 11 Hippos, no doubt there are many more in the lake, but yet again the Lake is the largest Fresh water lake in South Africa and is claimed to have the second largest population of Hippos in South Africa, we are lucky to be able to witness this little Family grow! If you come to Sodwana for a winter holiday, be sure to visit Lake Sibaya. Winter is the best time to see Hippos and Crocodiles out on land! Please be considerate of others when doing game drives, we all get excited seeing wildlife and sometimes get over eager. When spotting Hippos and Crocs try drive much slower and stop a fair distance as to not spook the animals back into the water! This will help considerably to get that perfect natural calm photo! Good luck to our newborn, can’t wait to see you soon! Check out all the need to know about these Magnificent Mammals! – Hippos @ Sibaya Lake – Sodwana Bay ~ South Africa

Sodwana National Park Tuesday Jun 9th 2020 Koa Sinag Whohooo! Sodwana Bay National Parks gates are open again for visitors… long awaited by locals and business owners as ISimangaliso welcomes day visitors. Although is not full steam ahead yet – it is a start! At the moment you can only do beach walks, and Fishing. Basically no Commercial activity yet… At the gate we were created with friendly smiles and an orange cone to indicate social distancing and hand sanitizer. On the beach everyone adhere to the #covid-19 rules by keeping their distance. We are so happy that we are in Level 3 and hope that we can soon go into level 2. We all need to adhere to the rules – even though they were declared unlawful by the constitutional court – so we can exit the #LOCKDOWN. Too many self-employed individuals and businesses have been effected by the COVID-19. Please stay at home and wear your mask! View our video as we encounter the beach for the very first time after lockdown…
