ST
LUCIA - THE ELEPHANT COAST - KWAZULU-NATAL, SOUTH AFRICA
|
|
Greater
St Lucia Wetland Park (iSimangaliso Wetland Park), KwaZulu-Natal, South
Africa
 Covering
about 240,000ha, with a further 84,000ha in, on or under the sea, this
is a large chunk of sub-tropical paradise stretching 220km along the East
Coast from St Lucia to the Mozambique border.
As well as a mind-blowing
range of natural systems, ranging from dune, swamp and coastal forests
to rocky and sandy shores, coral reefs and submarine canyons, mangroves,
savanna grassland, thickets, woodlands, and the largest protected wetland
in southern Africa, it is a culturally fascinating area and - more importantly
- has immense fun potential. Game viewing opportunities range from self-drive
to luxury lodges, and the birding is awesome. You can paddle on the various
lakes, checking out hippos, birds and game on the shore.
 The
snorkelling at Cape Vidal, Black Rock and Kosi Bay is great and, if you're
a more serious diver, Sodwana Bay is still the most popular diving destination
in the country. For a more exclusive dive experience you can head up to
Rocktail Bay or Mbibi.
The hiking trail at Kosi
Bay offers terrain ranging from grassland, beach and mangrove forests to
mysterious waterways. You can do a short or multi-day horse trail, watch
mama turtles laying eggs or baby turtles hatching on the beach, or go out
in a boat to see dolphins and humpback whales.
Community run trails offer
the opportunity to experience the natural beauty of the area, as well as
get a handle on the history and culture of this fascinating corner of our
country.
You shouldn't miss out on
seeing the traditional fish traps, which have been handed down from father
to son for hundreds of years. There are also a couple of traditional villages
and loads of craft outlets.
Note: If you are planning
to travel to the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park and Kosi Bay please be aware
that this region is malarial. Consult your doctor or travel clinic for
advice and refer to our article on malaria. |
