A hearty dinner each evening, a restful night in the forest and a proper breakfast to fuel your morning on the lake.
Free Boat Safari
A 2-hour guided cruise on Lake St Lucia with a maximum of 10 guests. Hippos, crocs, pelicans and open water await — and we book it for you.
What you could see
The northern reaches of Lake St Lucia are one of the most biodiverse corridors in iSimangaliso Wetland Park. Every departure is different — and every sighting is personal.
Wildlife
- Hippos resting in their natural pods
- Nile crocodiles on sandy stretches
- Plains game drinking at the water's edge
- Open lake vistas and ancient fossil beds
Birdlife
- Greater and Lesser Flamingos in large flocks
- Great White and Pink-backed Pelicans
- African Fish Eagle
- Goliath Heron & Giant, Malachite and Pied Kingfishers
- Spoonbills, storks, herons, terns and seasonal migrants
Why False Bay is different
False Bay lies tucked between ancient sand forests and fossil-rich beaches, far from the busy eastern shores. The fossil beds along its banks formed when this coastline lay beneath the ocean, long before the lake took its present shape.
"Here, silence becomes part of the story."
With a maximum of 10 guests per departure, every cruise offers personal guiding, extraordinary photographic opportunities and rare access to the quietest, wildest corner of the park.
What's included in the safari
- Expert guide and skipper
- Birding and ecological commentary
- Safety briefing on arrival
- Light refreshments available to pre-order
