St Lucia Bib's International Backpackers, St Lucia, Sydafrika

Bib's is an excellent hostel and fully serviced until 10pm daily so you don?t have to do any humdrum domestics or wash dirty dishes!

Situated in St Lucia with its shops, restaurants and bars, Bibs caters for every aspect of the backpacker market with self-catering chalets and excellent dorms.

It is situated in the heart of the St Lucia World Heritage Site and is surrounded by national parks so you can walk out of the door and into a hippo. At night look out for bushbabys and colourful chameleons, and if you?re lucky, a leopard.

The great St Lucia Wetlands Park and its 5 eco systems offers over 60km of self-guided trails, 4 of the Big 5, hippos, crocs and sharks. The Umfolozi/Hluhluwe Game Reserve is on the doorstep and the local beaches are unspoilt.

Our backpacker restaurant serves light meals and offers an opportunity to catch up with letters or watch telly. Nights can be spent alongside the lovely rockpool sharing a few of the guide?s crazy escapades, or on the beach beneath a million stars. Free morning walks and mud baths, Beach fires and shuttle to and from the beach are available. There is also Zulu dancing on Saturday nights.
