Map of iSimangaliso Wetland Park
The Greater St. Lucia Wetland area (newly named iSimangaliso Wetlands Park), Africa's oldest nature reserve and a World Heritage Site, is the largest estuarine system in Africa. The area embraces five ecosystems: Marine, Eastern Shores, St. Lucia Lake, Mkuze Swamps and Western Shores. This diversity offers the nature lover a rich variety of outdoor and wildlife experiences. With its lakes, lagoons, freshwater swamps and grasslands, St. Lucia supports more species of animal than the better-known Kruger National Park and the Okavango Delta, although these areas are much larger.
