The drive to St Lucia is just over two hours from Durban city. iSimangaliso Wetland Park is a World Heritage Site. This is one of the most diverse eco systems in the world. A Big5 safari park, which makes its way down to the shores of the Indian ocean. iSimangaliso Wetland Park has an estuary that is home to hippo, crocodile, abundant bird life and numerous other animal species.

From the safari park, we move onto the St Lucia estuary for a boat cruise. The estuary is rich in wildlife. Hippo, crocodile and fish eagle can all be found in and inside the estuary.
