We will cruise past snorting hippos, fish eagles fishing and crocodiles basking in the sun on the banks of Lake St. Lucia. Isimangaliso Wetland Park is bird lovers paradise. 450 bird species can also be found in this area, making it a birders paradise.

    iSimangaliso Wetland Park

    We depart Richards Bay and head north to Isimangaliso Wetland Park. Sunscreen and hats on, we’re off on our boat cruise. The boat departs from the Sunset Jetty. After all the excitement of watching hippos, crocs and beautiful birds, it’s time for lunch (own account). Time permitting - we walk off our lunch by visiting the craft markets and take a walk on the boardwalk which leads to the mouth and to the beach. We can dip our feet in the Indian Ocean to cool off from the Zululand summer.
