Nelson Mandela remarked: 'The Park must be the only place on the globe where the world's oldest land mammal (The rhinoceros) and the world's biggest terrestrial mammal (The elephant) share an ecosystem with the world's oldest fish (the coelacanth) and the world's biggest marine mammal (the whale).'
'Wetland Park e lokela hoba sebaka feela lefatsheng moo diphoofolo tse tsofetseng (Ditshukudu) le diphoofolo tsa lefatshe (tlou) di arolelang mmoho le ditlhapi tse tsofetseng (tlhapi tse kgolo) mmoho le ditlhapi tse kgolo (shaka).'
