    iSimangaliso Wetlands Park

    Posted by fshgirl 27 November 2011

    Nestled in the iSimangaliso Wetlands Park - a marine reserve and world heritage site since 1999.
    Endless beaches with massive sand dunes fringed by a dense coastal forest.
    My favourite place is to the left of the lighthouse, just to sit and watch the southern right and humpback whales breach as they makes their journey up and down along the coast of Africa. Watching the sun set with a beer in hand is another way of celebrating the area's natural beauty, peace and quiet.
    The rock pools have great nudibranchs and loads of tropical fish juveniles - great for snorkelling.
    Between November and February you can see turtles laying eggs and the babies hatching (leatherbacks, loggerheads amongst the species).
    You can also watch dolphins on their daily feeding route along the coast.
    What more can I say? It has to be seen to be believed :)
