• Hurulu Eco Park

    After our descent from the Rock Fortress which caused a few weak dodgy knees, we made our way to the Hurulu eco park for our big game drive in search of elephants 🐘😃
    For centuries hundreds of elephants have migrated to this area in search of water.
    Our jeep was very comfortable..until we got going! The tracks we went along were incredibly bumpy so whilst I had to sit down most of the time the boys were stood up having to duck under loads of trees and branches along the way!
    Unfortunately all the elephants were shy at first, bar one who did a very good job of hiding! We were beginning to get concerned but then we eventually came very close to a small herd including a few calves.
    They all seemed very chilled and didn’t charge off so our hopes had finally been fulfilled 🎉
    The last elephant of our trip totally shocked us. It was standing on the roadside eating grass and looking very chilled despite lots of traffic. IT HAD 5 LEGS. Not sure if it was a male or female but I was very impressed and we couldn’t have asked for a happier ending to our amazing trip! 😍
