St. Lucia Park & Game Reserve

St. Lucia Park & Game Reserve
   Created around 1897, this is one of South Africa's oldest reserves. The park includes St. Lucia lake (which is actually an estuary), its islands and Mapelane, a popular fishing spot across the mouth of the estuary. The waters are shallow and warm. The salinity varies, supporting a wide variety of wildlife. Flamingoes, pelicans and fish eagles all breed here. Also common are crocodiles and hippos.
