Turtile in the sand, laying eggs

Turtle nesting is an exceptional experience on the seashore of our World Natural Heritage Site, the Isimangaliso Wetland Park(previously St. Lucia)
Your tour to watch the turtle nesting that occurs in an age old ceremony, is a opportunity for you to observe a secret of nature that is seldom witnessed by the average person. Year after year the turtles return to their turtle nesting grounds where they dig into the white sands of the northern Sodwanda Bay beach to lay their round white eggs.
