Discover the Magic of the Elephant Coast
Stretching from the mouth of the uMfolozi River to the Mozambican border, the Elephant Coast in northern KwaZulu-Natal is a natural wonderland where ancient traditions, wild coastlines, and Africa’s rarest wildlife converge. This is the legendary home of iSimangaliso Wetland Park – a UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrated for its astonishing biodiversity.
Here, hippos roam freely, whales breach offshore, elephants and rhinos wander vast reserves, and sea turtles nest on untouched beaches. It’s the only place on Earth where the world’s oldest land mammal, the rhino, shares an ecosystem with the elephant, coelacanth, and whale – as Nelson Mandela famously said at the park’s opening.
From lush coastal forests and coral reefs to crystal-clear lakes, floodplains, and towering dunes, the Elephant Coast is a treasure trove of experiences – wild, soulful, and unforgettable.
