Travel Review: Richards Bay, South Africa
We decided to take our time driving home from Durban, so we stopped at Richards Bay to break up the long drive. We chose the Treetops self catering accommodations, just a 2 minute drive from the Beach. The pool at Treetops was a relaxing oasis. Watch this two minute review of our time in Richards Bay!

12 things to do in St Lucia, South Africa
St Lucia is a small town on the east coast of KwaZulu-Natal almost completely surrounded by wilderness.
Visitors to this incredible destination will find themselves immersed in a natural setting that few other destinations can offer.
There is good reason why this area was South Africa's first proclaimed UNESCO World Heritage Site, and you only have to spend a little time here to discover why...
Full post here:
1. Explore the waterways of Lake St Lucia
Lake St Lucia is the largest estuary system in Africa. It's huge! And one of the best ways to explore it is from the water.
2. Stroll the Estuary Boardwalk and do some birding at the estuary mouth
The boardwalk leads to the beach while passing through a beautiful coastal forest. It meanders fairly close to the estuary so keep an eye out for birds and animals along the shoreline as well as in the water.
3. Enjoy some beach time on the unspoiled coastline
The length of coast from St Lucia right up to the Mozambican border is one of our favourite stretches in South Africa. The beaches are simply out of this world. While St Lucia has a number of winners within the town limits, a few other beaches worth checking out include Mission Rocks as well as Cape Vidal.
4. Snorkel Cape Vidal's rocky point
Speaking of Cape Vidal, we'd rate this as one of the top snorkeling destinations in South Africa. The snorkeling spot is right on the beach and follows a finger of rocks that extends out toward the open ocean. This rock-shelf creates a breakwater that makes for epic snorkeling conditions.
Guided snorkeling trips are available at Cape Vidal, and we'd highly recommend them.
5. Hike to Bat Cave on the Eastern Shores
This is a great little trip if you're keen for something a little different. Just north of Mission Rocks is a small cave which is home to a colony of Egyptian fruit bats. You can access the cave from the beach, although you'll need to time your trip with a low tide to ensure you can get there and back without getting wet.
Don't forget to bring along a torch or headlamp so you can see the bats when you get there.
6. Greet the ocean's giants on a boat-based whale watching tour
Whale watching is an absolute must in St Lucia! Nothing can really give you an appreciation for these gentle giants like watching them from the water. There are a number of excellent tour operators who run whale watching trips from St Lucia from around mid May to December when the humpback whales are around.
7. Explore St Lucia and surrounds by bicycle
One trip we found really great was the cycle tour of St Lucia. Your guide leads the way and stops off at a number of very interesting sites as well as points out various plant and animal life along the way. It's a nice way to get around and also a great way to get in some holiday exercise too.
8. Horseback ride the beach and bush
St Lucia is one of the coolest places to go horse riding. There aren't too many places out there where you can ride through a game reserve and along the beach all on the same trip.
The horse riding trails pass through a section of the Eastern Shores of the iSimangaliso Wetland Park and is a great way to get right up close to the wildlife without scaring them away. We encountered a number of zebra, wildebeest, and other antelope that where perfectly relaxed around the horses.
After that it’s onto the beach for a brisk ride back to the town, passing by the estuary mouth along the way.
9. Explore the Eastern and Western Shores on a guided evening game drive.
Night drives are the best!! The bush seems to come alive at night and so getting onto an evening game drive is a real experience. The public aren't allowed to drive in game reserves after dark so you'll need to do this with a guide, but that's well worth it. Their eyes are accustomed to spotting animals in the dark and they offer a really great experience.
10. Self-drive
St Lucia is near both the Eastern and Western Shores Sections of the iSimangaliso Wetland Park. This area has been the success story of a re-wilding project that started a number of years ago and is now home to many of Africa's big wildlife including elephants, rhinos, buffalo, leopard and so much more.
The roads in the park are mostly tarred with a few gravel tracks here and there, but visitors can explore the park in their own vehicles without any trouble.
There are a number of excellent view sites and picnic spots within the reserve, so be sure to pack for the day.
11. Witness turtles nesting on the sandy beaches
The turtle season runs from November to March and is an excellent time to be in St Lucia. The town is abuzz with the talk of turtles and St Lucia is one of the most accessible best places in the country to witness them nesting and hatching.
12. Take in the peace of an African sunset
There are a number of great places to watch the sunset, but the aptly named Sunset Jetty is probably the best one.
St Lucia Wetlands Park | Hippos! | Richards Bay, South Africa
From the port of Richard's Bay, South Africa, we visited St. Lucia Wetlands Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Park housing crocodiles and hippopotamus. This is an estuary that flows to the ocean. We didn't see a crocodile, though the boat captain said he saw one. We did see a lot of hippos, including babies! They tend to hang around together so we saw a couple big groups. We also saw yellow weaver birds that nest in the area. From the ship, we watched Vervet Monkeys play in the industrial port area. It was a relaxing boat ride even in the rain.

Relax and Unwind in Richards Bay South Africa | 90+ Countries With 3 Kids
Welcome to Richards Bay, our first destination in South Africa! After leaving Mozambique we continued south and arrived at the Aristo Manor Inn where we were warmly welcomed into the country.

Hluhluwe Game Reserve | Richards Bay, South Africa | Big 5 Game Drive
Our first African game drive on this cruise was at Hluhluwe Game Reserve from the port of Richard's Bay and it was amazing! We saw the animal they are most famous for - The White Rhino. (Please note, any other white rhino seen on this trip will not be posted on social media due to poaching problems. I only show these because white rhino is what this reserve is known for and they did not ask us not to post white rhino photos or videos.). We saw warthog, nyala, baboon, elephants, impala, southern red bishop, zebra, cape buffalo and a vulture. We were lucky to see such a wide variety of wildlife.
