Description
Experience the iSimangaliso Wetland Park like never before — a blend of scenic boat cruising and guided birdlife exploration. Spot hippos, crocodiles, and over 420 bird species across the estuary.
Embark on an immersive eco adventure through the heart of iSimangaliso Wetland Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that’s home to an astonishing diversity of life.
Start your day in St Lucia, where your Kallito Tours & Safaris guide welcomes you aboard a private estuary boat. Cruise along tranquil waters surrounded by hippos, Nile crocodiles, and hundreds of bird species — from African Fish Eagles to Kingfishers and Pink-backed Pelicans.
After your cruise, enjoy a short guided wetland walk through forested dunes and riverbanks known for their butterfly and bird activity. Your guide will share insights on the park’s ecosystems, conservation stories, and the cultural ties of the Zulu people to this landscape.
A refreshment break with coffee or juice is served mid-morning before returning to the jetty. This is more than a boat ride — it’s an eco experience connecting you to the living spirit of iSimangaliso.
