St Lucia Wetland

Greater St Lucia Wetland Park
Stretching from the mouth of the St Lucia Estuary in the south to Kosi Bay in the north, extending into the Indian Ocean on the east, the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park is an amalgamation of a number of smaller parks and conservation areas. It is the biggest wetland system in the southern hemisphere and is a South African World Heritage Site.

Conserving a range of biomes from coral reef, estuary and wetland to open Bushveld, this world heritage site is home to an astonishingly diverse range of creatures. Highlights are diving at Sodwana Bay, paddling or birdwatching at Kosi Bay,paddling on Lake St Lucia itself, birdwatching at Mkhuze and, of course, general game watching. The park is very close to the wonderful Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park and borders on the Phinda Resource Reserve and its luxury lodges.
