KwaZulu-Natal Wetland Park stretches along the Zululand coast from Maphelane in the south to Kosi Bay in the north,  the Mozambique border.

iSimangaliso Wetland Park offers eco-tourists some of the most diverse African wildlife and outdoor experiences possible. The variety of fauna and flora is unique. iSimangaliso Wetlands Park in KwaZulu-Natal protects rare swamp forests, Africa’s largest estuary and some of the world’s highest coastal vegetated dunes, which are 25 000 years old.

“iSimangaliso must be the only place on the globe where the oldest land mammal (the Rhinoceros) and the world’s biggest terrestrial mammal (the Elephant) share an ecosystem with the world’s oldest fish (the Coelacanth) and the world’s biggest marine mammal (the Whale)” – Nelson Mandela.
