This World Heritage Site combines pristine forests with wetlands and marine ecology. The string of lakes, marshes, coral reefs and secluded beaches, make this north-eastern corner of South Africa a sub-tropical paradise.

The warm sea attracts a huge diversity of marine life including leatherback and loggerhead turtles that lay their eggs in the soft sand during summer. Ragged-tooth sharks congregate off rocky reefs and bottlenose dolphins leap joyously in the wave break. Whale sharks are known to investigate boats and humpback whales migrate here in winter.
