FULL LENGTH TOUR DESCRIPTION
Depart from the quayside in Richard's Bay and travel north to the beautiful St. Lucia Nature Reserve. On arrival, you will board a boat for a 2-hour leisurely cruise on Lake St. Lucia.
A trip on the lake, dotted with bird-rich islands, reveals vivid displays of thousands of feeding flamingos, pelicans, waders and other waterfowl. Over 526 different bird species may be found here. The echo of the fish eagle's haunting cry can be heard while you view the basking and nesting sites of the Nile crocodile and the hundreds of hippos that make their homes in the estuary; the greatest occurrence of both crocodile and hippo in southern Africa.
