Lake Santa Lucia

Santa Lucia is one of the oldest lakes on the planet, its age is estimated at tens of millions of years. The lake extends for 85 kilometers, while its maximum depth hardly exceeds a meter and a half. There are 7,000 hippos and crocodiles in the lake. Of great interest are hundreds of species of birds nesting in the area. Do not forget about the wild inhabitants of the African savannahs, facing the lake for a watering hole.

Many types of vegetation grow around Lake Santa Lucia, including mangrove forests. The lake itself is part of the eponymous reserve, the main feature of which is the highest sand dunes in the world. The lake and reserve are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
