“This is one of the few destinations where a visitor can see the Big 5 and within an hour's drive, be able to watch dolphins and whales.”

Greater St Lucia World Heritage Site

Having been declared a World Heritage Site in late 1999, the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park - 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.

The small fishing haven and popular holiday resort of St Lucia lies on the shores of Lake St Lucia, fed by the waters of the Mkuze River. The mouth of the estuary has a high salinity level and therefore teems with fish, with this large marine food source there are plenty of great predators that the fish attract include a vast array of birds such as fish eagles, kingfishers, cormorants, pelicans and flamingos, while sharks and large game fish also get their fair share. The lake is home to many hippos and crocodiles and hundreds of species of birds.

For divers the crayfish are plentiful in the rocks close to shore and temporary permits can be obtained from the Natal Parks Board. Crayfish may be collected at First Rocks and Mission Rocks to the north of St Lucia village.
