Big 5 Wildlife Safari – from the Deep blue to Bushveld

Dive with Sharks off the East Coast of South Africa and then transfer to the Game Park for the Big 5 with a Wildlife Safari to remember forever!
Together, these destinations create a safari adventure that blends bush, beach, and water in one unforgettable journey.

Nestled in northern KwaZulu-Natal, St Lucia and Hluhluwe offer one of South Africa’s most diverse safari experiences. Visitors can explore the legendary Hluhluwe–Imfolozi Park, Africa’s oldest reserve and home to the Big 5, while also discovering the UNESCO listed iSimangaliso Wetland Park, where savannah, estuary, and ocean meet in spectacular harmony.

OVERVIEW

Just three and a half hours drive North of your Dive Safari venue.

In Hluhluwe–Imfolozi, guests can enjoy full‑day or half‑day Big 5 game drives, intimate small‑group safaris, and thrilling night drives that reveal the bush’s nocturnal secrets. Meanwhile, at iSimangaliso we offer tours with snorkeling at Cape Vidal, sunset safaris with breathtaking views, and even combined itineraries that let you experience both parks in a single day. Each outing is guided by experts who bring the landscape and its wildlife to life.

Beyond the reserves, St Lucia’s estuary and coastline open up a world of aquatic adventure. Daily hippo and crocodile boat cruises showcase the estuary’s abundant wildlife, while seasonal turtle tours and whale watching provide rare encounters with marine giants.
