From Richards Bay, we traveled on the the Isimangaleso Wetland Park. A large area stretching right up to Sodwana Bay. We stayed in St Lucia's campsites and did a day visit to Cape Vidal. This area is a foresty, green leafy and wetland area where one should strictly stick to the roads or get stuck in the mud.The campsites and accommodation in both St Lucia and Cape Vidal are usually full during school holidays and one should book early or visit out of season when it is normally rather empty and place to overnight or longer is easy to get.The campsites we visited have many rather tame antelopes like the Natal Steenbok and Bushbuck. Banded Mongoose travel in waves through the campsites hunting for food. Birds are everywhere and this is a real pleasure to have all this wildlife around you.The trip to Cape Vidal was great and we saw many a wonderful vista as well as mammals like Buffalo, Hippos, Kudus, Rhino and smaller animals.This area is one of South Africa's most beautiful and is a must-see on any longer trip through the country.
