Saint Lucia Estuary
7 hours
We depart from Durban at 6am and head north to St Lucia Estuary for a Hippo and Croc Boat Cruise in the St Lucia Estuary in Isimangaliso Wetlands Park. A boat cruise on the St. Lucia Estuary offers an exciting opportunity to observe hippos and crocodiles in their natural habitat. As you glide along the waters of this UNESCO World Heritage Site, you'll encounter large pods of hippos wallowing in the shallows and crocodiles basking on the riverbanks. The cruise also provides views of diverse birdlife and lush mangroves, making it a rich and immersive experience in South Africa's wilderness. After the boat cruise we take a short lunch break before heading back to Durban.
