NB
Visitors intending to visit Charter`s Creek, Fani`s Island or False Bay should be aware of the drought conditions that are currently being experienced in northern KwaZulu-Natal, particularly over the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park. There are no boat tours from Charter`s Creek and fishing or the launching of boats from any of the three camps is not possible because of the low level of Lake St Lucia.
