From St Lucia to Cape Vidal, several loop roads wind through forests, grasslands, and freshwater pans, offering excellent bird-watching, game viewing, and scenic lookouts. The Eastern Shores host elephants, rhinos, buffalo, crocodiles, hippos, hyenas, leopards, and numerous smaller species, giving visitors a full safari experience.
