Exciting Land & Water Adventures
Stretching north from Umhlanga, the area is flanked by the Indian Ocean, and is blessed with coral reefs, pristine estuaries, lake systems and over 200 kilometers of untouched sandy beach (recently designated a World Heritage coastline). Behind lies a rich variety of unique habitats, including wetland and sand forest. The area’s highlights are its nature reserves, including Pongola, Ithala, Mkuze, Tembe, and Ndumo; lakes, including Sibaya and St Lucia; and marine reserves at Kosi Bay and Sodwana. The reefs have been dived for less than five years and are glorious. The best-known reefs are Illusive and M’bibi reefs. The Old Women Angelfish section of the M’bibi reef system is named for the shoals of fish that follow divers. This section is characterised by large pinnacles and collapse features, and abundant reef fish.
