iSimangaliso Wetland Park

World Heritage

South Africa

🎧 Listen to Introduction

Sustained fluvial, marine, and aeolian processes in the region have created a variety of landforms, including coral reefs, long sandy beaches, coastal dunes, lake systems, swamps, and extensive reed and papyrus wetlands. The park's environmental heterogeneity, with its interaction with major floods and coastal storms, and its transitional geographical location between subtropical and tropical Africa, has resulted in an exceptional diversity of species and ongoing speciation. The mix of landforms and habitat types creates a stunning landscape. The site contains important habitats for a range of species from African marine, wetland, and savannah environments.
