The Elephant Coast, north of KwaZulu-Natal offers everything from game drives, boat cruises, historical adventures to many eateries. The coast stretches from St Lucia to Pongola, and home to the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, a world heritage site.
Hereâs how to plan a trip to the Elephant Coast:
Day 1
Durban to St Lucia
It takes three hours to get to St Lucia from Durban. If you are one of those travellers who love making a few pit stops along the way, enjoy a breakfast stop at one of the eateries in the Dolphin Coast.
