WHY WE THINK YOU’LL LOVE IT ✓ Visiting South Africa’s first proclaimed world heritage site. ✓ Incredible biodiversity with 5 different ecosystems in one area. ✓ One of the only places you will find Hippo, Crocodiles and Bull Sharks sharing the same Estuarine waters. We arrive at our destination St Lucia, South Africa’s first World Heritage site, now called Isimangeliso Wetland Park (National Park), where your experienced guide will take you on an educational journey on the boardwalk where you will have the opportunity to view as well as learn about Hippos as well as crocodiles. We will visit a crocodile farm where you will have further opportunity to learn about these amazing creatures, the Hippo and crocodile. We shall head to the town of St Lucia where Hippos wonder around at night wanting to get to the grassy areas to feed. 2-hour boat cruise on Lake St Lucia, to where you can enjoy the amazing habitats of mangrove swamps, savannas, grasslands and riverine forest.

Very successful tour Nicolas picked us up on time and explained the trip and answered our questions. The guide from St. Lucia was excellent (if you want to sit on the second floor of the boat, arrive early). We had a very good lunch at a Greek restaurant and continued on a short walking tour to the connection of the reserve to the sea and to the crocodile museum which was a bit neglected. Nicolas was very attentive and cheerful. Thank you very much

We had an unforgettable visit to iSimangaliso Wetland Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site covering an area of 239,566 ha, with a wide range of pristine marine, coastal, wetland, estuarine, and terrestrial environments. Pickup at the port was easy - they were waiting as we left the ship. We visited the Crocodile centre where we saw many types of crocodiles and even held a baby. Then, we took a jetty ride along Lake St. Lucia to look for hippos. They did not disappoint! Next we enjoyed the town of St. Lucia, which is peppered with warning signs about the hippos who roam the streets at night. I highly recommend Tim Brown tours for your Durban or Richard’s Bay experience.
