What is the name of lake in south africa?
The largest lake in South Africa is Lake Sibaya. Lake Sibaya, one of the complex of Ramsar sites situated on the coastal plain that makes up north-eastern KwaZulu-Natal, is the largest natural fresh water lake in the country, with an area of 60 to 70 km2. Surface water in the surrounding coastal plain often disappears completely during dry years, making the lake the only source of permanent water for birds and mammals. The wetland also supports rural people of the region, who in many cases are totally dependent on the water resource and its associated flora and fauna. Sibaya is also an important link between Kosi Bay and St Lucia, providing a stepping stone for the extension of tropical elements down the east coast.
