The St Lucia Estuary is an incredible place of wonder, home to more than 800 Hippo’s that lounge about on the banks of the estuary. An estimated 1200 Nile crocodiles, not to mention the abundance of birdlife. It is no wonder that the area was proclaimed a world heritage in 1999 by Unesco and is the first world heritage site in South Africa. Formerly a fishing town with domestic travellers, the town area has since grown in leaps and bounds. This bustling little town offers numerous attractions to both national and international holiday makers every year. The St Lucia Estuary remains the top attraction as nowhere else has one the opportunity of experiencing such a diverse and magnitude of beauty. The various seasons contribute to migratory bird species. A bird lovers paradise and only 54km away lies the Mkuze game reserve most definitely one of the best birding areas in South Africa.

The small town St Lucia is mainly a hub for the greater St Lucia Wetlands Park and is a settlement in Umkhanyakude District Municipality in the KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa.
It is believed that around 1928 Huberta was born in this area, was part of a herd but decided for unknown reasons to leave the herd and head south, always south.
