GREATER ST LUCIA WETLAND PARK - CHARTER'S CREEK
 

* Please note that Charter`s Creek Camp is closed until further notice due to the extreme and extended drought in Zululand Charters Creek on the Western shores of Lake St Lucia is a firm favourite with anglers and birdwatchers who enjoy the old world simplicity and peacefulness of the camp's lake side setting
 
Set on a bluff looking eastwards over the everchanging expanse of lake St Lucia, a World Heritage Site, the camp is an ideal base for birdwatching and provides opportunities to view terrestial forest birds as well as a variety of equatic birds, both fresh water and marine. NB:Due to the presence of elephants on the western shores of Lake St Lucia the self guided trails are no longer available to the public due to safety considerations.

Though swimming is not allowed in the lake because of crocodiles and hippos there is a swimming pool in the camp and a screened area (lapa) where barbecue facilities are available.

Charters Creek is ideally situated in relation to other wildlife activities in the area and is approximately an hours drive from the Hluhluwe Umfolozi Park, Mkhuze and St Lucia Estuary.

Charters Creek offers basic conference facilities that can accommodate 30 delegates in surrounds that relax the spirit and sharpen the mind.

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.
