Greater St Lucia Wetlands

The Greater St Lucia Wetland Park in northern KwaZulu/Natal – declared a World Heritage Site in late 1999 – is an aggregation of numerous, singular natural wonders deemed crucial to the future of the global community. Each offers its own unique features and activities for those in love with the Great Outdoors. Fringed by languid coral seas, a golden ribbon of sand sweeps northwards along the KwaZulu/Natal north coast, forming gentle bays and terraces of rock wedged between land and sea. On the eastern side of this coastal terrace, sand-dunes cloaked by stunted forests of green form a massive barrier of sand between the sea and the interior.

Within this proclaimed area are a number of privately owned lodges such as Rocktail Bay, Ndumo and close by Phinda Game Reserve, each offering the guest something different from game drives and walking safaris to beach activities such as SCUBA diving, snorkeling, boating, fishing and canoeing. This is the ideal area to combine that secluded beach and bush experience.
