St Lucia: 2-in-1 Hluhluwe-iMfolozi and iSimangaliso Safari

Two very different game parks all on the same day! KwaZulu-Natals flagship "Big 5" Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park and the wildlife park with a beach bordering the warm Indian Ocean - iSimangaliso Wetland Park
Start your day with a 4-5 hour morning open vehicle safari into the world-renowned Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park, which is about an hour's drive from St Lucia. Enjoy a light but satisfying picnic breakfast with a "sunrise" coffee and rusks in the wild. Then, continue your safari and marvel at the diversity of wildlife, birds, and landscapes. Be on the lookout for Africa's iconic "Big 5" as you traverse the park. You might even encounter a pack of highly endangered African Wild Dogs or the majestic Cheetah!

Returning to St Lucia for lunch at one of our choice restaurants, or head directly into iSimangaliso if you have ordered a snack pack to enjoy on your way to Cape Vidal Beach. You are also welcome to arrange your own picnic lunch if you wish, entirely up to you.

iSimangaliso Wetland Park - South Africa's first declared UNESCO World Heritage Site for Nature, just a short 5 minutes drive to the gate from virtually anywhere in St Lucia. Translated from the local Zulu language "iSimangaliso" means "place of miracle or wonder" - an incredibley diverse and enchanting park with this section being home to 4 of Africa's magnificent "Big 5". Meandering between the St Lucia Estuary to the west, home to an estimated 1200 nile crocodiles and about 800 hippos and to the east, some of the highest vegetated sand dunes in the world until you reach the beautiful beach at Cape Vidal. Along the way you are treated to an abundance of plains game and spectacular birdlife. Spending some time exploring the pristine beach and marine environment, all the while completely surrounded by nature. Driving back to St Lucia is an exciting prospect as well because you get a second chance at spotting as much wildlife as possible as you make your way back out of iSimangaliso, stopping for a sundowner at Catalina Bay if you've order a "Sundowner Cooler" or you are more than welcome to bring your own along and Sifiso, your guide will oblige a "Sundowner Stop"...
