Travel Photo of the Week: Buffalo at Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Game Park

This shot was taken in a game park at Hluhluwe-Umfolozi which is in the KwaZulu-Natal province. The Hluhluwe-Umfolozi game park (prounced something like: ‘shla-shloo-wee oom-fa-low-zee’) is much smaller than say the Kruger (being about a twentieth of the size) but it is teeming with game and is a very beautiful park with huge landscape areas with a wild feel to them. We took several pictures of a group of male buffalos, enjoying the mud wallow in the warm sunshine. Male Buffalo can be dangerous creatures, but these were quite happy for us to photograph them at leisure, it was as if they were all out on a ‘jolly’!
