Unpolluted beaches, walking trails through the forest, five species of turtles that return each year to lay their eggs, wonderous coral reefs and 367 different bird species are just a few of the incredible experiences St Lucia has to offer. Lake St lucia is the largest estaurine system in South Africa and is a vital nursery area for many of the 1200 species of fish which occur in the adjacent sea.

The road to hluhluwe passes through fields of sisal and pineapple and is studded with acacia trees.

Traditional beehive huts are settled amongst the rolling hills and roadside stalls and offer vividly coloured hand-woven baskets, clay pots and wooden carvings for sale. The Hluhluwe game sanctuary was declared in April 1897. Trails through the Reserve afford a series of unforgettable sighting of rhino in abundance in their natural habitat.
