Lidiko Game Lodge is located in St Lucia a village which borders the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in South Africa’s KwaZulu Natal province.
The best way to reach St Lucia, where Lidiko Lodge is located, is via the N2 highway from the city of Durban. It takes roughly four hours by road depending on the number of pit stops and detours you want to take. It proves a worthwhile adventure for avid self-drivers wanting to discover the hidden treasures of KwaZulu Natal’s northern coast consisting of roadside isiZulu villages, dramatic coastal scenery, and even a few goats and cows along the way too.
Stay at Lidiko and you’ll find yourself at the gateway of the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, which is characterised by hundreds of crocodiles and hippos. It also boasts the largest number of frog species in Southern Africa (35 of which 2 are endemic), while its shoreline is a nesting site for leatherback and loggerhead turtles. In December 1999, the park was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the first one in the country.
