Tourist attractions Santa Lucía

Santa Lucia, a picturesque town on South Africa’s east coast, is nestled within the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Located in the KwaZulu-Natal province, Santa Lucia is renowned for its lush wetlands, pristine beaches, and abundant wildlife. This charming town is the gateway to an untouched natural paradise, offering boat safaris where visitors can spot hippos, crocodiles, and a variety of bird species along the estuary. Just a short drive away are Cape Vidal’s unspoiled beaches and the Eastern Shores game reserve, where you can enjoy a mix of coastal beauty and game viewing.A fascinating curiosity about Santa Lucia is that it’s one of the few places in the world where hippos freely roam the streets at night, creating a unique wildlife experience right in the heart of the town. The iSimangaliso Wetland Park itself boasts diverse ecosystems, from coral reefs and dune forests to savannahs and swamps, making it a haven for nature lovers and adventurers. Whether you're keen on a relaxing boat ride, beach days, or exploring wildlife-rich reserves, Santa Lucia offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and outdoor excitement.
