Turtle Safari

Take a guided turtle safari to get up close to these gentle giants
 
 

See Leatherback and Loggerhead Turtles

Home to the natural nesting ground of vulnerable loggerhead and endangered leatherback turtles, the iSimangaliso Wetland Park in South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal gives you a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see these gentle giants in the wild.

As the evening begins to fall, you will take a guided walk along the beach to where you can watch turtles return to their birthplace to lay their eggs.

Turtle safaris later in the season will allow you to marvel at the hatchlings as they make their desperate and dangerous dash for the ocean, truly an experience that will stay with you for years to come.

Travel Tip:

You can sometimes walk the beach until the early hours of the morning, so be sure to wear warm clothes, bring a  torch or headlamp, and follow the instructions of your guide.
