Lake Sibaya

One of the best lakes to visit in Africa is Lake Sibaya. A 64 km2 freshwater lake in South Africa, Lake Sibaya is also referred to as Lake Sibhayi. On South Africa's east coast, in the Maputaland or Umhlabuyalingana region of KwaZulu-Natal, is where the lake is situated.

It is a part of the Greater St. Lucia Wetland Park and was designated a "Wetland of International Importance" by the Ramsar Convention on June 28, 1991. The Greater St. Lucia Wetland Park was renamed the iSimangaliso Wetland Park in 2009 after being designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in December 1999.

The hippos are its most famous inhabitants, and many tourists will encounter them while on a guided kayaking excursion or a sunset cruise. Crocs and an abundance of birds also reside in the lake. There are 18 different species of fish if fishing adventures interest you. This lake is perfect for frog lovers because it is home to 22 different species, including toads, reed frogs, and grass frogs.
