False Bay Park, part of the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, is a hidden gem for nature enthusiasts. Located on the western shore of Lake St Lucia, the park blends drier palmveld with lush lake-edge habitats, attracting elephants, rhinos, buffalo, leopards, giraffes, nyalas, and diverse birdlife.
Managed by Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife, it offers rustic campsites and marked walking trails for an immersive, low-impact experience. The park’s proximity to both terrestrial and marine ecosystems makes it unique—visitors may encounter whales, dolphins, and nesting turtles in the greater iSimangaliso system. Accessible via the Duku Duku Gate near St Lucia or from the Charters Creek off-ramp on the N2, False Bay is a peaceful wilderness base for campers and explorers.
