The first swimming crocodile we meet in Swaziland!!!

(Which means the others we met just stay in the water just like floating logs~) Maybe next time we can see a crocodile opens its mouth and swallows something!

Swazi believes that crocodiles hate DOG! It is because crocodiles think dogs may eat their babies. In order to avoid be eaten by crocodiles when passing a river, you had better take on a dog with you. So that you  can sacrifice the dog to crocodiles for your own safety.

2013.06.23 Day Tour in Mkhaya, Swaziland

We started our journey from Matsapha to Mkhaya. It took about an hour to reach the destination. We drove on the MR3 through Manzini and turned right onto MR8, which leads to Big Band. The day tour of Mkhaya costs R620(roughly NTD1,860) with two safari and one hearty bush meal.Fortunately, who lives in Swaziland will be charged R550(roughly NTD1,650) rather than R620. Thus we got the big discount!!

The Mkhaya Nature Reserve is famous of endangered species, especially rhinos. According to the tour guide, there are four of the Big Five in the Mkhaya Nature Reserve(except for the lion).During the tour, we saw lots of rhinos, hippos, impalas zebras and one giraffe. We also met the very first swimming crocodile in Swaziland, which means the previous one we saw just stayed fixed in the lake.lol

It was a quite interesting journey, and the bush meal was also very delightful! The animals you could see and the hospitable service absolutely  worth what you pay!!!
