Cape Vidal
We depart from St Lucia Village at 08h00 heading north to Cape Vidal where you can enjoy a lovely day at one of South Africa's most unspoilt beaches. We drive through the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park, while a guide informs us about the unique 5 ecosystems. The park has a variety of game such as zebra, waterbuck, kudu, warthog, buffalo, hippo, elephant and numerous bird species. The change in vegetation is astounding and the second highest vegetated sand dunes in the world are awe-inspiring. Cape Vidal is ideal for snorkelling and safe even for the most faint at heart! This trip in inclusive of all gate fees, a light breakfast, a fish barbeque for lunch with salads and drinks, snorkelling gear and a registered tour guide.
Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Safari
A visit to the oldest Game Reserve in our country is a neccesity! These 96 000 hectares of rolling hills is a gem that has not fallen prey to commercialisation. Imfolozi is known to be the Imperial hunting ground of King Shaka Zulu, who grew up in this area. This is also where the thought-of extinct, white rhino was re-discovered and brought back to life. Truly a Rhino Sanctuary, where 90% of the world's white rhinos originate from. To really appreciate the beauty of this park we depart from St Lucia Village at 06h00 to return at about 17h00. Trip includes light breakfast, snacks, drinks and lunch, as well as gate fees and a registered tour guide.
Kosi Bay Lakes
Due the long travelling distance of 300km from St Lucia Village this excursion does not reall qualify as day trip. There is simply too much to see and experience in one day. Snorkelling, boat cruises, hiking, bird watching including rare species such as the palmnut vulture and palm swifts, fishing kraals of the Tsonga people and raffia palms. We suggest that you spend at least 2 days in St Lucia and a chartered tour can be put together to suite individual needs.
