Sodwana Bay
Rated as one of the ten best diving sites in the world, Sodwana offers something for the more adventuresome. Activities such as diving, snorkelling, quad biking and horse riding can be arranged. In season, turtle watching at night is also available. Sodwana is about an hour and a half's drive from Mkuze if you need to stay on tar or about an hour on a much shorter dirt road.
Muzi Pans
Muzi Pan is a 15km stretch of water within the greater St. Lucia Wetland Park forming a natural boundary between the park and the KwaJobe Tribal Land. The southern end of the pan borders Mkuze Game Reserve. Both shores of the pan boast a wide variety of bird species (The possibility to add a Pel's Fishing Owl to your list). The pan is a base for a wide variety of game, as well as the numerous resident hippos, and offers a magnificent nature experience either on a canoe or guided walk.
Ilala Weavers Market
Ilala Weavers Market is situated 65km, approximately a 50-minute drive from Nibela Lodge, and hosts a wide range of local crafts and curios. The market is one of our favourite St Lucia South Africa things to do. Browse through beautifully hand-woven baskets, traditional Zulu jewellery and trinkets which make the best gifts for friends and family back home. Behind the curio shop is a museum dedicated to the history of this ancient art, so you can get a better idea of the stories behind the treasures you go home with.
