AREA INFORMATION
The Greater St. Lucia Wetland Park, now iSimangaliso Wetland Park, is one of those rare and beautiful areas which everyone should visit at least once in their lives. In 1999 it was awarded UNESCO World Heritage Site status, marking it as a place of 'outstanding value to humanity'. The Park is situated on the north eastern coast of KwaZulu-Natal and covers 328,000 ha with an impressive 280 kms of pristine coastline. This Natural World Heritage Site is a unique mosaic of culture, wildlife, plant life and scenery. Comprising lakes, islands and the St. Lucia estuary, the area incorporates no less than five separate eco-systems and is unique in its diversity, supporting critical habitats for a range of species from Africa's marine, wetland and savannah environments. For the eco-enthusiast, there are an astonishing variety of habitats ranging from the Lebombo Mountains to grasslands, woodlands, mangroves, dunes and coastal forests, all of which exist alongside the magnificent beaches and coral reefs of the warm Indian ocean.
