Activities/Attractions: St. Lucia, the town, is the most southern entrance to the Greater St. Lucia Wetland Park World Heritage Site, situated about 300km north of Durban and approximately the same south of Swaziland.
Teeming with wild life, The Elephant Coast offers more than just The Big 5, this area has drawn "Big White Hunters" from Europe and abroad since the early 1700's. Big 5 is a hunting nomenclature that was adopted by a group of people that where brave enough to hunt Elephant, Lion, Leopard, Rhino and Buffalo with the short range half a ponder musket of times gone by.
The jewel of the Elephant Coast is un-mistakenly The Greater St. Lucia Wetland Park, with its array of amenities. Since the sunrises on the East Coast over the ocean, the mornings are the most exquisite time of the day on the St. Lucia beaches. It is this time of the day when Dolphins frolic in the waves while smaller creatures play on the golden brown beaches. With less than 60 km from St. Lucia, through the cultural heartland of the Elephant Coast, is the World Renowned Hluhluwe/Umfolozi Reserves. Sample tours include:
- Daily hippo and crocodile launch tours on the St. Lucia
Lake system
- Seasonal Whale Watching and Marine Turtle Nesting
Tours
- St. Lucia is a Bird watcher's paradise with over
500 species amongst the coastal dune forest and wetlands
- Snorkel in the warm Indian Ocean amidst the subtropical
coral reefs
- Visit the Big Five Game Reserves around St.
Lucia
- Self Guided Walking Trails
