SODWANA BAY

Renowned for its sport fishing, scuba diving and snorkeling, Sodwana is situated on the coast within the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, South Africa`s first World Heritage Site.The reserve lies adjacent to Africa’s southern-most coral reefs. The Maputoland and St Lucia Marine Reserves are linked to each other to form a continuous protected area stretching 150 km from the Mozambique border southwards to Cape Vidal and 3 nautical miles out to sea.

In summer, loggerhead and leatherback turtles come out of the sea to nest on the beaches. Aside from Sodwana’s wealth of opportunities for diving , boating and angling, a five-km self-guided trail is available for the enjoyment of nature lovers and bird enthusiasts. Malaria precautions are necessary.
