St Lucia Wetland Park
Greater St. Lucia Wetland Park
 
South Africa
 


This safari offers you a playground within the world’s biggest wetland reserve and you are sure to be overwhelmed by this splendour. Teeming with over 900 hippopotamus, hundreds of Nile crocodile, Zambezi shark, rhino and herds of antelopes.
St. Lucia Wetland Park is sandwiched between the Big 5 reserves of Umfolozi and Hluhluwe and the Indian Ocean with big game fish such as marlin, tuna, and great white shark, whale shark and breeding herds of humpback whales and dolphins.
 


 
 


This uninterrupted coastline stretches from St. Lucia mouth northwards to Sodwana – hundreds of kilometers of snow white and desolate beach and the breeding ground of leatherback and loggerhead turtles. This is one of the world’s only safaris where within a 25 km radius you can experience all of the above – including the Big 5.

Be initiated into the mystical ritual of Leatherback and Loggerhead Turtles coming ashore in the dark of the night to lay their eggs in the sand of some of Africa’s most secluded beaches. In February and March the hatchlings make their way back into the ocean. You can help with the tagging of these hatchlings before releasing them back into the ocean.
