The Safari
On Labor Day Weekend 2023, Hurricane Idalia blew up the Carolina Coast bringing with her a pair of American Flamingoes who landed just outside of Charleston, SC on Bulls Island. One bird took off to parts unknown a few days later, however the other bird has decided to stay put. Bulls Island has wetlands full of crustaceans & plants for the bird, known by locals as "Jimmy," to feed on and thrive in the Palmetto State! Bulls Island is also full of wildlife from Birds, to mammals, a healthy amount of alligators we'll have plenty of sightings to tell your friends & family about when you get home. We are surprised he's hung out so long and have decided to capitalize on this rare opportunity!
​
Fair warning: The hike to the location where Jimmy the Flamingo hangs out will be a 4-mile round trip. There's no guarantee this animal will hang around until our scheduled trip date. We will be checking in with the ferry operator leading up to the trip.
