South Africa’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site, iSimangaliso Wetland Park is one of the most beautiful places on earth. A 332,000 hectare park made up of lakes, swamp forests, beaches, bush and coastal dunes, iSimangaliso means “miracle and wonder”, and once you have visited, you will understand how it got its name.

A popular addition for those taking a Grand Tour of South Africa, iSimangaliso is easily accessible from St. Lucia, Sodwana Bay, and even inland regions such as Mkuze, so if you are heading to South Africa anytime soon, make sure you add this fabulous park to your travel itinerary.
