    • The St Lucia Wetlands Park is the 3rd largest national park in South Africa, offering wide range and diversity of activities and opportunities to see the nature the way it is. In the next few tips I just try to describe in brief what I saw in this beautiful place.

    • The St Lucia Wetlands Park is heaven for bird watching, you will see and hear birds where ever you go, they are everywhere, by the sea, lake and in the forest, not always easy to catch them on camera but here are few nice one I did manage to catch.

    • In our first day here, before even trying to explore further we just took a walk around the St Lucia trails, around and by the sea you can walk and see lots of animals and birds.

    • Compare to many other places in Africa, in some of the areas here it is perfectly safe to hike and take a walk in the wild. Actually there are even guided 4 days Wilderness Trail if you wish including overnights stay in a camp.

    • Walk around the very beautiful long beaches here. Depends on the season the beach can be spent for swimming, sun tanning, bird watching and relaxing time.

    • It seems fishing is rather popular here, I saw many do so, in this photo you can see well equipped vehicle going fishing by the sea. Did he get anything? At the time I was watching I didn’t see anything coming up.

    • You can take also a boat cruise into the big wide ocean and go on a whale watch cruise. This is no fun cruise, this is an adventure, a fast boat will take you in a high speed into the deep ocean and will hunt for you the whale, the chances in St Lucia for seeing a whale is very good and so we did and it wasn't a disappointment. Just be prepared to get socking wet, go with light cloths and sandals for this trip, but maybe also something to keep you warn from the sea wind.
