The 330,00 hectare estuary, coastland and natural lakes stretches some 220 km from St Lucia up to the border with Mozambique. iSimangaliso is the largest wetland area in Africa and is characterized by its broad diversity of wildlife, marine life and bird life.

The town of St Lucia is fast becoming a popular destination for eco-tourists using it as a base to explore the beautiful surroundings. St. Lucia itself is a neatly laid out town with a bustling main street and offers a number of retail options and restaurants.

With so much on offer in the diverse surroundings, guests can enjoy the outdoor life taking part in such activities as bird safaris, turtle tours (October-March), whale watching (June-November), Hluhluwe game drives to spot the Big 5, estuary boat cruises, night drive safaris, hiking & wildnerness trails and so much more.
The nearby village of Khula offers visitors an insight into the traditional Zulu culture of the area.

The whole area of St Lucia Lake, as well as the Hluhluwe / iMfolozi Park is malaria free.
