Discover St Lucia Estuary in iSimangaliso Wetland Park
The St Lucia Estuary is the heart of the UNESCO-listed iSimangaliso Wetland Park, located in northern KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. This vast, ever-changing estuarine system is one of Africa’s largest and most diverse coastal wetlands, stretching between the coastal town of St Lucia and the Indian Ocean shoreline.
If you’re planning a holiday to South Africa’s east coast, St Lucia Estuary offers wildlife encounters, boat cruises, fishing experiences, birdwatching, beach adventures, and unforgettable African sunsets — all in one destination.
Why St Lucia Estuary Is So Special

- Over 800 hippos and one of the largest crocodile populations in South Africa
- More than 500 bird species recorded
