At the Isimangaliso Wetland Park in the St. Lucia area of KwaZulu-Natal, you can explore eight different ecosystems. You can drive through dense mangrove forests, or see rhinos and elephants interacting on the dry grassland. All that is great, but the most surreal thing you might spot is a leopard relaxing on the sands of the wild beaches.
