St Lucia Hippos

St Lucia is widely known for its Hippos, not only locally but internationally. This little town with a resident count of approximately 1000 truly shares its streets with numerous wildlife species and more importantly Hippos, yes 800 or so.

This miracle of sorts where man and wildlife co-exists is truly a reminder of what can be accomplished.

For years the local Hippo residents have once the sun slowly starts to set, set off into town in-search of what we like to call greener pastures. For years this occurrence has endured and more importantly the local residents have always safeguarded this occurrence, ensuring that all visitors are warned and enlightened how to respond and what actions to take when coming across a Hippo wondering the streets of St Lucia.

So should you like to experience this incredible sight you should or maybe rather must visit this little town known as St Lucia.
