Sibekezelo Msezane who works in the restaurant and bar is the absolute best. Very attentive, friendly and always paying attention to details. NIBELA lake lodge can be proud with her in the team. Also the drive (and boattrip) with Vincent was very good.

St Lucia is truly a beautiful little gem!!

St Lucia is truly a beautiful little gem!! A quaint and quirky town with a great vibe, interesting history, amazing diversity and proudly South African!! One main street with all sorts of interesting little shops and souveniers, easy to get around and safe!! Loved the hippo and croc cruise with Advantage tours, and the self drive through the game reserve to Cape Vidal, a piece of paradise!! Also went for a lovely walk on a nature trail close by which was like walking through a beautiful magical forest, food for the soul!! Wonderful variety of accommoation options and eating spots to choose from, we enjoyed our stay at Turtle Bay Lodge and had great food and excellent service at John Dorys!! The sighting of a hippo walking through the streets of St Lucia was exciting!! Highly recommend this special little town, can't wait to visit again!!(:

ENTRY TO THE PARK IS SIMPLE AND INEXPENSIVE, THE GAME POPULATION IS HIGH SO YOU GET TO SEE A LOT OF ANIMALS INCLUDING MOST OF THE BIG 5, THE HILLTOP STOP OVER IS PLAESANT FOR A MIDAY BREAK OR LUNCH, TRY ARRIVE WHEN THE GATES OPEN AS THE PARK IS LARGE.

Sodwana is a special place - always has been. Beautiful reefs to scuba and the weather is good most of the time. It is a pity that ISimangaliso is managing this beautiful place into the ground. It is unfortunately not a new thing and has been going on for years.

Mkuze itself is a little dreary however there are game parks aplenty to choose from. We did a game drive in Manyoni which is a quick 30 mins from where we were staying. The Jozini dam is worth a visit, with its abundance of hippos, crocs and birdlife. There isn't anywhere really to eat other than at your accommodation - there is an engen and decent spa and a very good butchers in Mkhuze itself. A good stop off if driving through to Kosi Bay border to Mozam.

Being from London, we loved the ‘Out of Africa’ decor and experience at 8 Lakeview Cabanas in Saint Lucia where we stayed and were so excited when the hippos walked right past our outdoor veranda area where we were barbecuing one evening…we were so lucky it was a mother hippo and her baby that evening!! We also took a day drive to the nearby National Game Reserve, Hluhluwe, where we saw an abundance of game, including the big five - and a large herd of elephants walked right infront of our car! The Hippo Cruise at Saint Lucia the one afternoon was also a most exceptional experience where we saw countless hippos and also crocs and unique bird life including a hunting fish eagle. We will definitely be back!!

Town is small and only supplies the basics.

Town is small and only supplies the basics. Very little paving in town. We felt a little unsafe visiting the Spar. No restaurants or activities for kids. The park is well worth visiting but ideally with a game viewer and guide as it's very hilly and the roads are in a nad state of repair.

Sodwana bay, that side of the beach is beautiful and safe. But for now don't book your stay at Zulu Eco lodge it's not safe. Poor lighting no security it's scary more especially at night it's horrific
