Hippos might look nice, but you better run when you feel that they don&#8217;t like you. Not to mention that 90 % of the crocodile population of South Africa live in and around St. Lucia. So going for a swim in the river behind the hostel also might not be a very refreshing idea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the activities offered at the hostel was a two hour morning walk with &#8220;Zebo&#8221;, a guy from the Transkei.
