Saint Lucia Estuary

This estuary is part of the Greater St. Lucia Wetland Park and includes fishing, hiking tours, boat tours and a crocodile center. The crocodiles make swimming an ill-advised idea.

Reviewed By Meliepod - Port Shepstone, South Africa

We booked on the hippo croc cruise boat at around Mid Day , which was recommended to us as hippos are usually waking up from their sleep around this time. We saw a lot of hippos and only 2 crocodiles and a rare sighting of Hammer bird and then a green falcon which is the fastest bird or animal on earth I believe . True magic! Only irritation was the rude tour guide from a French group of tourists , he was rather rude to other people not included on his tour. Making it unpleasant for others.

iSimangaliso Wetland Park

Reviewed By RickyS_RSA - Vanderbijlpark, South Africa

This park is a definite must visit for any person who loves exploring the natural beauty of our world and wildlife. Amazing eco-systems and your changes to see most of the big 5 is very good if you take the time to explore all the links off the main road to Cape Vidal. Cape Vidal beach itself is also really beautiful. Do take a picnic hamper or snacks with you as there is not restaurants in the game reserve - there is quite a few places along the various loops in the reserve to enjoy a picnic while taking in the beauty of this amazing place.
